Stars showing in moon photos
Following my earlier post, I've found a web site that I use to host photos.
See below for the scan of the colour transparancy of Aldrin next to the flag, with several stars showing in the background. http://img210.echo.cx/my.php?image=img1089sx.jpg The image below is the original before enhancement. If you pull this down and increase the fill light, the stars should show. http://img147.echo.cx/my.php?image=img1098vz.jpg Technical information. This photo was taken from a 1969 colour 35mm transparancy slides (positive), distributed by Nasa following the moon landings. These slides were purchased by my parents at the time as a momento of the moon landing. I scanned using an Epson 4990 Photo scanner (4.0 DMAX), with all digital correction and enhancement disabled. The photo was saved as . JPG with at maximum quality (compression at 1 out of 100). I scanned at an optical resolution of 3200 DPI, however the uploaded .JPG was resized to a maximum 2048 pixels in order to fit the 1MB limit. The link below shows a close up of the stars at full resolution. http://img13.echo.cx/my.php?image=mooncloseup3qx.jpg Regards, Tim |

Your picture is a reproduction of AS11-40-5874 http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/.../html/as11_40_ 5874.html, and while the high res image has its own flaws I just don't see the stars that appear in yours. There's an even better version at http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/IMAGES/LARGE/GPN-2001-000012.jpg. -- Remove spam and invalid from address to reply. |

Thanks for the link. That NASA image really makes mine look bad!
I'm embarrassed now, though I don't think the "stars" in my scan are flaws on the slide - the colour and slight lack of focus make me doubt that.

I downloaded the last image above from NASA and increased the fill light in the same way as my scan. The "stars" appear to match up. This is especially true of the two reasonably bright points just to left of the astronaut's face, and the dark blue spot behind his back. See below for the enhancement of the NASA image. http://img17.echo.cx/my.php?image=hires6ry.jpg However, I agree that I should reserve judgement. These may well be artifacts or imperfections. I certainly respect the fact that the NASA image is far superior in quality to my scan. I'll leave it to the viewers to form their own opinions. Tim |

Without much trouble one can identify stars that recorded better off
than within your selection. Somewhere I've copied a few and shared those with no respect from the 'apollohoax' teams danage-control spooks as they stalked and bashed topics and authors that do not 100% agree with their NASA bible.
