I have just added a new Apollo 15 panorama to moonpans.com

It is Jim Irwins pan of Dave Scott at Station 9a. Showing Scott collecting the 500mm lens camera from the Rover which is parked next to Hadley Rille, just in front of St George Crater.

It can be purchased at a range of sizes as very high quality photographic print on Fuji Crystal Archive paper from here: http://moonpans.com/prints/fullpans.htm#a15

But Jim Irwin did most of the work, I just stitched it all together!

Jim took several good pans, always well spaced and every frame horizontal. Such as:

Station 2

Station 8

Station 10

Cernan was very good too! You only need to look at his pan of Shorty Crater, he seemed to get a high vantage point for this one

And also his great pan near Camelot Crater at Station 5

Cernan also took some great individual shots too, and was always keen to get the Earth in the backround on several lunar surface shots

I dont know whether either of them had an interest in photography before becoming astronauts, perhaps someone might know.

Thanks
