Could anybody help me to download for printing (8x10) high quality shots of:
  1. Skylab 2 EVA of Paul Weitz, and
  2. Dave Scott Apollo 15 Hammer and Feather Drop.
Everything I saw so far does not look good on paper. Thank you in advance.

I think the only images of Dave Scott's hammer and feather drop are stills from the TV broadcast so I'm guessing the quality will not be good.

I assume Rick is correct but if you want to grab a screenshot of the shot you want, you can head over to Fiverr.com and there are plenty of people there who could clean it up for you for, you've guessed it, just $5.

From memory Scott did take a still of the feather in the lunar regolith. While neat to see, it was not an aesthetically stunning image.

Decent quality of a still from the TV broadcast would be ok.

I don't remember the source but I did eventually find an EVA shot of Weitz for him to sign many years ago. I'm not sure if it was taken during orbital sunset/sunrise or if the frame was sun struck but it was heavily red tinted. It may look better reproduced in mono if you can find it.

There is a decent shot of Weitz during EVA training in the NBL pool which is quite a nice wide shot.

Still looking for both items. Decent (not HD) quality is welcome.
