I’ve been busy plotting the tracks of 16mm orbital footage on Google Moon and every so often come across footage whose locations aren’t on the NASA plotting maps available here:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/apolloindex/ For Apollo 10’s Magazine Y 16mm footage there is this description at the AFJ for frames 2051-3603:
“Frames 2051-3603 Not plotted. Broken series of frames of hand-held telephoto panoramic spots of lunar farside scene; mostly low obliques and near vertical. Locations questionable.”
which is a description taken from the NASA photography analysis report.
I like a challenge.
This photograph is a screenshot taken from my google moon plotting of these frames, which show features between longitude 133 East across Catena Gregory and ending at a crater between Saha and Buisson at longitude 107 East.
I await the shoulder high carrying through the inevitable ticker tape parade with eager anticiption...
