What is the photo number of this image from NASA SP-400 "Skylab, Our First Space Station" (page 73)? The caption says it is a photo of Kerwin taken by Weitz on the final day of the mission.They did don their suits for the undocking and separation.  |

Just a guess, but the image seems to match this description for photo SL2-8-689:

I have scanned a 20x24" print of an Apollo 14 Hycon photo, you can see and download the individual frames here. Now I need someone with Photoshop to stitch the six frames together into one photo. |

That is indeed the image number I have assigned to it, although that view was not included in a full set of lo-res Skylab photos I acquired years ago. |

(Disclaimer: I and Paul are not from NASA or endorsed by them. We are doing this in our own free time.)This archive contains 251 photos taken on Apollo 14 by a modified Hycon KA-7A camera. These magazines were designated as AS14-79 and AS14-80. I would like to thank the NSSDCA for scanning and providing magazine AS14-79 and AS14-80. I would like to thank Paul for processing the NSSDCA .TIFF files. These photos were acquired by requesting NSSDCA dataset PSPG-00256. A film or digital copy of AS14-79 and AS14-80 was requested. The NSSDCA scanned a film for this request and several months later the resultant digital dataset was provided. Each file is 23 MB and has a resolution of 6016*4016 pixels. The NSSDCA provided TIFF files appear to be Nikon D750 raw files, which can only be correctly opened with special software. Paul was kind enough to batch-process all raw files. Each file was put through a DNG converted, Photoshop will then allow it to be imported normally. This caused the images to turn brown, which was corrected by turning them grayscale.

These 70mm film magazines were carried onboard Apollo 13. The single-letter magazines were stowed in the command module. The double-letter magazines were stowed in the lunar module.
- L is Mag 60
- M
- N is Mag 58
- O
- P
- Q
- R is Mag 59
- S
- T
- II is Mag 61
- JJ is Mag 62
- KK is Mag 63
- LL
- MM
The 16mm film magazines were A to K and AA to HH.

I believe that one of the Apollo 13 film magazines was reused on the ASTP mission. |

I have uploaded the Apollo 16 UV telescopes photos to a Flickr album, which is much easier to view than the ancient archive.org viewer (processing credit: Thomas Bohn). |

The March to the Moon gallery now displays its Apollo frames on a roll with the sprockets showing, like AS16-117-18852, for example: |

In the March to the Moon photos, what are the numbers seen at left on the film rolls? Never seen them before. Looks like those numbers decrease as the magazine frame numbers at right (on the roll) increase. One example is Apollo 16 Magazine 106: - frame 106-17336 shows number 12475
- frame 106-17338 shows number 12474
- frame 106-17339 shows number 12473

Several mag 132 Apoll 16 photos can be found here at the National Archives. They appear to be onboard 35mm colour photos.Unfortunately I can't find out more about them. I got an Apollo 16 photographic index but it only has 16mm and 70mm. Not on March to the Moon or, Apollo Flight Journal or Apollo Image Atlas either. Strange, this. |

The ALSJ has these thumbnail images of Magazine 132, described as ALFMED experiment photos taken during the translunar coast.The experiment is described on pages 99-100 in the Apollo 16 press kit.  |

This is photo AST-32-2710 which the National Archives catalog does not seem to have. I think it is the only ASTP photo I have seen that shows the two spacecraft docked. |

Magazine 32 also has a few photos of the Apollo spacecraft taken from Soyuz, but that magazine isn't even listed in the ASTP photo index that I saw.

As I recall, when the Hycon camera failed, Stu Roosa said it made a "clacking" noise. It would be interesting to compare the "best" Hycon shot of Descartes with the best Hasselblad image Roosa later took. |

This is frame 2806 on Magazine 32, so there must be a lot of ASTP images on Magazine 32 that most people have never seen before. |

Are there any photos of Brand with the cosmonauts during the mission? |

There are a couple of photos of Brand in the Soyuz spacecraft, but he is the only one seen in the photos.I have never seen any in-flight photos of either Leonov or Kubasov in the command module. |

In frame 2806, Slayton is seen in the Soyuz spacecraft, so that must have been the first crew transfer.The docking module was an airlock, so I am not sure how Magazine 32 went from the Soyuz (frame 2695) to the CM (frame 2710) before the first crew transfer: - frame 2695 — CSM from Soyuz spacecraft
- frame 2710 — docked spacecraft from CM window
- frame 2806 — Stafford and Slayton in Soyuz

Photo AST-9-575 was taken just prior to docking. It is the last frame on Magazine 9. |

These Skylab film magazines do not seem to be listed in the photo indexes: - SL3-131
- SL3-132
- SL3-133
- SL3-134
- SL3-135
- SL4-158
- SL4-182
- SL4-183
- SL4-184
- SL4-186
- SL4-187
- SL4-188
- SL4-189
Magazine SL4-158 might not have been used because there is no frame gap between Mags 157 and 159. |

Photo S74-17457 has this caption: This view of the Skylab 4 Command/Service Module in a docked configuration is a frame from a roll of movie film exposed by a 16mm Maurer camera. Somewhat odd that you only ever see the 16mm frame (shown) of the CSM when there were five 35mm photos taken of the CSM docked at the MDA on Magazine SL4-185. |
