John just admitted what I’ve suspected all along, he ordered them, they weren’t slipped to him (wink wink, nudge nudge) by a contractor like he implied at the beginning of this thread.

Springer, thanks for posting my photos.
The first 4 are separate scans of one photo Lunar Orbiter 2-162H. I ordered this photo many years ago from a NASA contractor, I forget which. When the package arrived it was a 16x20 inch negative. It took until a couple of years ago to find someone in Las Vegas that could print from a 16x20 negative. I had 2 prints made, one a 16x20 print and one 20x24 which is now on my den wall. I took the 16x20 over to Bob Lazars and he scanned it in 4 sections: no. 1 is top left, no. 2 is top right, no. 3 is bottom right and no. 4 is bottom left. No. 5 is a scan of Lunar Orbiter 5-155M.

Hi. First post in this great thread.
I recall Zorgon posting moon pics from some guy in the UK taken with a paltry 10" which compared favourably with the Hubble - suspicious
I mean you've got better weather and cheaper scopes and there is at least one guy on ATS with a 16". Just wondering...
The above image was created by J.Garvin and his team. It is a composite image that is one frame of an animation. Below is the relevant data. You can compare the name on the image to those below.

A sample of at least one (preferably more) of these same photos that hasn’t been retouched for comparison.
Are you kidding? That’s what I’d like to have.
Originally posted by johnlear
I invite you to order it: LO2-162H. 60 days should be sufficient. Order from any NASA contractor be sure and specify you want 16 x 20 negative. Accept no substitutions. Report back here August 16, 2007. Thanks.

A copy of the same photo John presented that also wasn’t retouched by virtue of the fact that the same “anomalies” (that presumably would need to be hidden) are still there (for all practical purposes).
Actually only small portions have ever been presented.

Evidence that more the one unretouched negative (in fact at least three) exist (or existed) of this same photo by virtue of the fact that scans of these additional negatives clearly show differences in the reconstruction of the original photo from the archived spacecraft image data.
Show the evidence please.

Thanks for your post AD. Would you mind posting my exact quote about the NASA photos being 'slipped' to me? This is what I thought I posted:

Through some quirk of fate I not only received on that wasn't retouched but received the actual negative.
Originally posted by johnlearHey, how is that apology for your vulgar comment to Undo coming along?

OK fine, in my opinion he’s whacked. It’s all just hearsay/words. Show me something independently verifiable and reproducible in the lab (e.g.. where I spend my waking hours) and then we’ll talk. Anyway, I think this says it all better than I could…

Well when the avalanche comes.. can we count on you to help process the data and post it?
And if we were to do that, how about calling independent observatories in other countries, perhaps some that are not USA friendly? We might get different results
This of course would have to have John Lear's and the support teams greenlight go ahead. John get ready for interviews if you are up to the task. What kind of support do you suppose we would get from telescope and digital camera manufactures for Project Moon Beam. Rik Riley

How does the fact that John Lear got an unretouched copy and a negative makes it impossible for other people to get them?
Originally posted by ArMaP
Or did John Lear said that he was the only person to get them and I missed that?

6. Argumentum ad hominem
This is the error of attacking the character or motives of a person who has stated an idea, rather than the idea itself. The most obvious example of this fallacy is when one debater maligns the character of another debater

7. Argumentum ad ignorantiam
This is the fallacy of assuming something is true simply because it hasn't been proven false.
originally posted by Access Denied
Exactly! That’s my point. The logical conclusion is (in the absence of any evidence to the contrary) no copies are retouched

Here are 2 photos of Endymion. Endymion is on the near side and is located about the 1:30 position at the edge of the visible portion of the moon. One photo was taken by the Lick Observatory 36 inch telescope. The other was taken by an amateur with a 10 inch telescope. Each photo has been enlarged so that Endymion will appear approximately the same size. Your task, should you accept the challenge, is to figure out which telescope took which photo:
