I've decided to start a new thread dedicated to the Apollo program, and I shall start the ball rolling by posting an assortment of mosaics and other images that I have been working on during the past few months.
LM ASCENT MOSAICS: Apollo 14: Turtle Rock and Station H are clearly visible, as are the tracks leading up to the ALSEP. Compare to the lunar orbiter view: -------------------- |

Apollo 15:
Apollo 16: Apollo 17: The LRV is visible in the Apollo 16 frame, but just out of view in both the 15 and 17 mosaics. -------------------- |

This can be contrasted to the following image taken by Dave Scott from the slope of Hadley Delta with the 500mm lens: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/AS15-84-11324HR.jpg Granted, this image is a little harder to use in picking out individual craters and landmarks, but it sure puts the landing site in true perspective, doesn't it? BTW -- that huge hill beyond the LM isn't the side of Hadley Rille, it's Pluton Crater with the smaller Icarus Crater beyond, the North Complex of domes topped by large craters that just might have been calderas. Problems with the drill, of course, cut short the third EVA and canceled planned sampling stops up along those impressively rocky rims. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
