First of all, that first picture from that tower, wow ..never seen that before. That tower would have to be HUGE though ..enormous indeed to that big.
Yes, the mask usually a piece of paper cut with the shape that the technician wants to correct. Sometimes they need to do more than one correction (for example, an overexposed area inside another overexposed area but in which the effect is not that strong), and in those cases both mask are used during some time, after which one of the masks is removed and the other remains for some time more.

I take it it's a solid one, ...very same way you select area in the photshop and add effect into it, it affects to the whole area equally?
I don't notice any unexpected blur, besides the natural blur (or more correctly, lack of detail) from being farther away.
What I can see this mask did, well it filled the area with blur.
Maybe the left side of the two craters was overexposed.
Ok ...so then let's look at the left bottom of the picture where we can see two "slices" of masks, why to use mask over there? Makes no sense to me.
I don't see anything, but I don't understand exactly which crater you are talking about, so maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
Also, if you zoom up and look above the crater where the right border of another one of those masks is, there's some strange things to be seen, it looks like it has been airbrushed from the corners to fit into it's place but still it doesn't sit too well if you view it closely. I might be completely wrong here but it just looks strange to my eye.
I don't know, but I find it strange that they needed to use a mask up to the left border of the photo.
Then very left end of the picture. You can see straight line from down to the bottom of the upper mask which starts in the middle of the picture. Again, why to do that for?
It's the first time I have seen it, but I haven't been looking for it, as it only becomes more noticeable when the contrast of the image is changed and I never do that, as it only makes the image look worse and (or so I thought) it does not show anything new.
Also, have you seen this is something that has been done to other images or is this the only one where masks can easily be seen?
These images represent but a few of the many anomalous images available from NASA archives. The noted features in the images below suggest a far more interesting picture of the moon than is typically painted by mainstream astronomy, which characterizes our satellite as a stark, bland, lifeless rock. So far no adequate explanation has been presented, by either the space agency or the astronomical community, for the curiosities contained within these official NASA photographs. The hypothesis that features such as the "double craters" and "square crater," which appear on Lunar Orbiter III frame 85HI and Apollo 10's AS10-32-4822, respectively, are the work of intelligence, is as valid as any standard theory.
Below are several enlargements of what I consider to be some of the most compelling anomalies in available lunar imagery. The first image shows a strange triangular "crater," Ukert, the unusual shape of which was first noted by Richard Hoagland of The Enterprise Mission in a Lick Observatory photograph (below left). The Pentagon's recent rush mission to the moon, dubbed Clementine, returned images of Ukert which confirmed its angular internal structure and three bright spots spaced approximately 120 degrees apart (below right).
The following image presents quite a puzzle. Peppered throughout the lunar landscape are dozens and dozens of "double craters," the likes of which can never be expected to be seen in any standard model of the moon. Further confounding is the fact that the "doublets" are almost always divided at their midpoint, and are similarly aligned. The doubling is clearly not an imaging error effect, as not all of the features in the image are duplicated. [4/19/00 revision - See "'Double craters' likely to be imaging artifacts" for opposing view] Note, also, that the two similarly sized large craters in the center of the image appear to have a hexagonal shape. Obviously, something is amiss in this photo. It has been suggested that the doublets are not craters at all, but rather two-pronged "braces" supporting much larger structures suspended above the lunar surface.
Following is one of at least 12 known versions of Apollo 10 frame AS10-32-4822. (Exactly why there are a dozen or more versions of this frame is outside the scope of this brief overview, though that fact begs some explanation by the space agency.) Though it is inexplicably blacked out in the official NASA image catalogue, frame "4822" can still be ordered from the space agency. The image shows a number of striking anomalies, not the least of which is a vast region of rectilinear structure looking for all the world like an extremely dilapidated city (hence its nickname "L.A. on the moon"). Other strange features include a peculiar square "crater" scored by razor straight notches and surrounded by honeycomb like "mountains."

Yes very nice picture !
hope you don't mind, i made a copy of it when i seen you post it in another thread. i didn't know that was the from the TIFF collection and if the rest of the disappearing pics were anything like that it's no wonder they freaked and pulled them.
should look more like this ?

As strange as it may look (or maybe not), the TIFF file reappeared, and can be downloaded from this page.
