ADMIN: Please be more specific as to the CAMERA/Mission you are talking about. This appears to be the Apollo 11 recovery image from 2009-07-12T05:06 - When you have a more details like that it is useful to go ahead and point it out.

It's this one:

You should be able to get the corners from the PDS by searching for this frame in the LROC first release.

OK, we're getting somewhere - I had to wait until the LROC site came back up after scheduled maintenance.

The reason you can't find it is that nacr00000ada is not the real image number. The image is actually M102014464R.
