weird.... they go all the way accross like that?
What are those little cross hairs in Apollo photographs?
The technical term is a FIDUCIAL .They are etched onto a sheet of glass , known as a RESEAU PLATE.
Excerpt
"The lunar surface Hasselblad cameras were fitted with a device called a reseau plate. The reseau plate is a clear glass plate on which is etched small black cross hairs, called "fiducials" by some and "reticles" by others. As each film frame is drawn into place, it is pressed against the reseau plate so that the picture is taken through the plate. This results in an image of the fiducials being superimposed over the image focused through the lens.
A reseau grid is used in the science of photogrammetry to establish a geometrical basis for measuring objects in photographs. It can be used to correct for any misalignment of the film in the camera, or distortions in the image after development or electronic scanning. Since the location of the marks on the reseau plate is known with great precision, correcting for distortion is a simple matter of manipulating the image until the marks are in the correct location."

Hi OP,
Can you please upload the actual images you worked on so we can get a good look, instead of looking at a low res video?

Funny thing with that movie is, because colour photos from Clementine are very similar (almost the same) to his vision of Moon. But, there is one difference - Clementine photos contain wider spectrum then our eyes can see (UV,IR, etc).

The USGS site has them as UV/VIS VIS standing for visible spectrum. The USGS says the images are in natural viewing 'slightly enhanced' by UV and IR. But believe what you wish Been down this road once to many times over the last few years

Some of the modified pics are pretty, but have you ever looked at the moon through a telescope?

That's what I was wondering also. To be honest, I don't think I have ever looked at the moon through a telescope (as a kid I did but with a cheap one) but it seems like people who do would see these things.

I always thought that first picture was a hoax created by Disney? Are you saying it's real?

Created by Disney?... yes
Hoax?... no
Real?... yes
You get me an answer on the Annunaki and I will tell you more about Disney
