No, follow my posts and you will see that I was saying that the HDTV images don't look fake, they look like what they are, frames taken from a video; any frame from a video always looks worse than a photo with the same resolution and colour depth, as video uses the changes from frame to frame to make the final result it uses less data for each frame than the data used by a photo.
was.... that though there is some data loss..... its only observable when the 'hdtv captured frames' are compared to 'photo with the same resolution and colour depth'........
I didn't claimed anything, I said that "I think they are all greyscale", and I don't understand the reason for the , what's to factor in that sentence?
but then again...... you also claim that the actual photos are in greyscale....
I didn't missed it (and I have seen those images before, they are not all Kaguya images), and the colour (and some greyscale) images are from the HDTV, they are not photos.
it seems you missed the last link which i posted......
anyhow.... check here.......
Don't you see colour in those videos?
could you point out anything...... that shows the lunar colour?
It is supposed to be a flyby of the 'Apollo 17 landing site and thereabouts (perhaps made using mapping data).
Note the repeating features:
Scope: TMB 80mm
Barlow: 2.5x barlow
Camera: DMK 41AF02
Filters: Astronomik RGB
Location: Ghent
Exposure:
Remark: The colors of Aristarchus region

If by that you mean if it looks like what I would expect, no, I don't think the colours are right, but I never expected that from the HDTV images.

hmmmm..... does that look 'ok' to you?

though quite straightforward.... but i tend to read between the lines at times & hence find your comments quite cryptic once in while....
What do you mean by that? Could you please explain it better? Thanks in advance.
that being mainly due to your later disapproving of your initial contentions....
It means that I wasn't expecting high quality imagery from a video camera, high resolution photos are much better, both in resolution and colour depth (or pixel values, for greyscale images).
so i will try n save my neurons from misfiring by trying to clarify this time..... looool.... what do you mean by saying "but I never expected that from the HDTV images"

WHY is it hard to understand that, on the type of surface that is the Moon, A LOT of craters will look boringly, redundantly similar....in fact, inside the yellow boxes, and with the yellow arrows, I SEE differences. Subtle, but different.
Grab a handful of beach sand, put it under magnification.....and look for SIMILAR repeating patterns.
Not the best analogy, since by grabbing the handful of sand, you disturbed their original orientation....compared to the Lunar surface, which has been (mostly) undisturbed for billions of years, except for our (Human) activities. AND the occasional meteor impact, etc, etc, etc...
Picking nits, this is becoming...and it is bordering on the absurd.
Since lack the access to that sort of data, nor the time, to what's claimed I'm in no position to verify, or challenge the claims; I will leave that to others.
The above quote shows a good example of the problems I have answering your posts, you say that you were "assuming that I was conveying something different than what I have now clarified", but as you don't say anything specific I have a lot of trouble understanding what are you talking about, what was that "something" that you thought I was conveying.

as your above response was concerning my post about the aristarchus crater..... which clearly puts jaxa at fault.... i was logically under the assumption that you were conveying something different than what you have now clarified... alas
No, they are different things.
so just as you are still not sure whether the photography was in greyscale or colour.... should i presume the same fate about your contentions that a high-definition 'colour' video recorder orbiting the moon is unable to capture details which a mere 10" earth based telescope is capable of

Nice job of 'quote mining'
You will certainly have a position available to you, in future manned space missions, to mine other precious gems, on other planets, should you wish to be included as a candidate....
BUT, I WOULD also apply, as a candidate, if such missions became available and feasible, in my lifetime....so, "Can I Borrow Your Pen?"

Oh...I see clearly now, your "mission"...
Great job!!!
Bravo (or is it 'Brava'?)
Wonderful, keep on keeping on the pointless inanity --- and for christ's sake, keep muddying the waters!!!
...becase that is 'important' to keep the "conspiracies' alive!!
yeah, I get it, fully, now......
