Best I can tell, that photo was taken during Rev 70, which occurred on August 4, 1971. |

That's what the photography index says at least. AOS on that orbit was about 12 noon UTC, and the size of the crescent Earth matches that shown in Stellarium. |

David - brilliant!It's a composite of AS15-97-13268 and AS15-97-13266. Which has then been mirrored left to right. No wonder I couldn't find it anywhere.
