The lunar surface below is in north central Sea of Fertility. The coordinates of the center of the picture are 51 degrees east longitude and 1 degree north latitude. About half of the crater Taruntius G is visible in the lower left corner of the picture. Part of Taruntius H can be seen at lower right. NASA Quote: Quote: An interior view of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module showing some of the displays and controls. Mounted in the Lunar Module window is a 16mm data acquisition camera which has a variable frame speed of 1, 6, 12 and 24 frames per second. Below is a picture of a camera mounted in a window. I found another picture which shows a second camera mounted in the other forward facing window. So there are at least two cameras, one on the left and one on the right.

Haven't seen it before. I love the soft look of the mountains. It seems that many images of the moon are over-sharpened, so it is nice to see an image which has a more natural look to it.

For example, to catch up to another ship for docking, you need to decelerate. That puts you into a lower (and faster) orbit, allowing you to catch up. Perhaps that is at play here.

Unfortunately I ordered just a bit too close to last weekend, and due to Sandy, all deliveries are now postponed. Best shipping estimate from Amazon right now is anywhere between Nov 13 and Nov 28. Hope all is well with everyone back east.

I can see already it's going to be an excellent companion to my Atlas of the Moon. IMO, Atlas of the Moon and the Cambridge Atlas are just about as complete a set a lunar observer could want. I love my Kaguya atlas too, but it's just not quite the same, nor does it have the coverage the Cambridge does.

I really like Kaguya, but the coverage is so spotty.

There is so much more that needs to be covered on the Lunar Surface!!....

Yes, it is a Coulter Odyssey 10.1. I've had it since new in 1982'ish. Many, many, memorable views through it!
