Hmmm, an unusual reluctance to take up a challenge...To clarify matters, it is not the full view of Armstrong, only his leg, but if only the picture had stayed that way... |

A very good summary of the Apollo 11 moonwalk TV transmission can be found on Colin Mackellar's wonderful "Tribute to Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station" website. |

I'm guessing this is what you mean. These images were taken from the very beginning of the T.V. coverage as it was just coming on and while it was still upside down. The first three images show the T.V. image as it was just coming on, the fourth image shows the T.V. image after it 'settles' down.     |

Yes! Perfect. What a shame the picture didn't stay this quality. It seems to show that the camera worked perfectly but the transmission system didn't. You can actually make out the detail of his boot. |
