Hi 

I'm trying to link lunarserv to QGIS. I've been following the instructions in the PDF. The instruction ask to change the transformation to "Moon_2000" however QGIS only provides the option to convert to WGS84 and doesn't have a transformation to Moon_2000. Is there any work around for this? 

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the QGIS developers removed the IAU2000 projections at
some point. I'm not sure why, but it no longer does those projections
via WMS. If you use EPSG:4326 that should work fine though. Even
though that projection says it's WGS84, it's a purely lat/long
projection so the datum doesn't change anything. It's not as convenient
as it used to be, but it'll work. You can still set your project
projection to what you want in QGIS and it should do what you want.

Hi Sophia and Nick,

I've checked lunaserv web service on QGIS 3.12.1 on OSX and it works fine with IAU2000:30100 - see attachment with WAC 360nm band, grid, and nomenclature (to change srs, just click on the lower right box in the screenshot). IAU2000 codes for planetary bodies are all still in.
