"Fall-off" problems with the Apollo 11 Image Gallery

[dwight]

Who knows what flow charts I could end up on as part of that thoroughly evil  ApolloHoax/Dwight/Jay/Hengeveld/ALSJ cabal which, in the face of the remarkable evidence put forth by the whispering AwE130 and his multitude of followers, tries to convince the world that the moon-landings happened.

Just so you know, Kiwi, if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.

And the truly ridiculous thing is our mate, Awe, will think I'm really most sincerely worried.

Brant have you asked Eric about this? He loves to get his teeth into issues like this. He did a sterling job for me in finding a contamination source for some of the Apollo 16 Mag 116/E in particular. It turned out the crew tried to wipe the camera clean of dust with a damp cloth and accidentally dragged it across the reaseau plate.

THANK YOU! I've been wondering about the cause of those artifacts for a long time. It always seemed a shame that so many otherwise beautiful images from that mission were spoiled by them, and I wondered whether the problem was in the camera or somewhere in the film handling on the ground.
