New images from Apollo Image Archive

Here's some new images from the Apollo Image Archive that I've picked out. Some of my favourite areas.
These are all from the mapping cameras of either Apollo 16 or 15.
They have been cropped and "Shadows/Highlights" (brilliant tool) adjusted in CS3.

Messier craters.

Interesting section of Schröter's Valley.

Hadley Rille; Apollo 15 landing site.

Taurus Littrow; Apollo 17 landing site.

Aristarchus 9th Dec.

Not so cold tonight, just as well since I have one.
4 image mosaic.
I love all the rilles around the top this crater, and the dome in the lower left.

Below is a tonal adjusted & over sharpened (to bring out the rilles) version.

Below is the same sort of view from apollo 15 orbit.

Hi-res Moon imaging, 15th Feb 2008 - Good seeing. Apollo 15 and Apollo 17 landing sites.

Hadley Rille from March 2007

4x Imagemate image. Nearly the same sun angle when the crew from Apollo 15 landed.
Hadley mountain is top of image, half in shadow with rille below. They landed in the middle, between the rille and the mountain.
You can also make out St. George crater, just on the corner of the rille as it takes a right turn going South.

Apollo 15 image of the top part of the rille taken from lunar orbit.

Pan taken from red arrow indicator position above, showing the view looking down the rille with Hadley mountain to the right.

See... even though it's cloudy I can still get pictures of the same old things.

Apollo 15 Landing site.. best yet

Apollo 15 site at high sun angle

Here's another view of the Apollo 15 landing site. This was taken at a high sun angle, and most of the features were bleached out.
Using 4x imagemate again.












The Apollo 15 mission carried a mapping (metric) camera located in the SIM Bay of the Command Service Module:-

Apollo 15 site.

Imaged at prime focus. The Rille is just in the shadow of the mountains :-( ... Trust me.
