The crosshaires on the camera. PLEASE HELP

Sorry i am asking so many questions but you hopefully know about how the crosshairs were behind some of the apollo missions objects. Some of the crosshairs on the camera were behind these objects which some people say that that is because it was edited? Is this true? :-\

This specifically answers your question: http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html#crosshairs

As does this: http://www.clavius.org/photoret.html (you will have to scroll down just over half way).

See: http://www.clavius.org/photoret.html

They are not behind anything, they only appear that way when "washed out" by bright objects, especially in low-res copies of images.

Sorry i am asking so many questions...

Perhaps if you were to take Andromeda's "advice" and read the sites she posted...ALL your answers are there.

...and if you find something not covered on those sites, then come back here and ask...

So, they edited white stripes onto a red flag?

I think it is futile to ask the OP about it - he hasn't been logged in since november.
Well, it is like this: The truth doesn't need insults. Insults are the refuge of a darkened mind, a mind that refuses to open and see. Foul language can't outcompete knowledge. And knowledge is the result of education. Education is the result of the wish to know more, not less.
