Have any of the serious experts on this board ever sorted out any 1960s images? I'm thinking of the Surveyor panoramas (in the 60s they did it with photos pasted onto the inside of half-spheres!) and the way that the exposure dropped off toward one corner, making a horrible patchwork effect. Or them lines and spots on the Lunar Orbiter images...
Most of the NASA mission data should be available as digital source material, and thus could be manipulated, though I suspect that getting anything 'real' from Soviet missions would be a bit of a chase! Any thoughts? -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

While I'm at the library (whenever I do finally get there), I'll dredge up that 1962 article listing (in detail!) all the science instruments originally planned for Surveyor, which was in "Missiles and Rocket" magazine. By the way, that 1962 National Geographic (October, I think) which had the detailed article on how the Ranger 5 mission was supposed to go followed up its 15 or so beautifully detailed paintings of the mission's very steps with two of that current model of Surveyor (complete with drill).
