The lunar images taken at band 14 on 2015/11/09 13:10 a before and b after the extraction of the broad PSF from the Earth. The red arrows in b indicate bright spots corresponding to Aristarchus, Copernicus, Tycho, and Zucchius craters in order from the top. The areas indicated by the left and right white arrows in b are Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Humorum, respectively. c The broad PSF from the Earth as a function of the distance from the terrestrial center. The black dots are the pixels located outside two lunar radii. The solid and dashed red lines are the average and plus-minus one standard deviation range of the broad PSF, respectively. The left terminator is the rim of the Earth. The gray area is affected by the terrestrial atmosphere
