The Orbiter was about 28 miles above the lunar surface when the photograph was taken with the 80mm lens at 1/25th second exposure time. The only parts of this photograph which can be identified on telescopic photos taken from the earth are the large light areas which are variations in albedo…Site S-17. Frame 215. KI 2057."
