Not "strange" at all. And, well.....Foos was supposed to learn from this, but I suppose that was a hopeless thought, from the beginning.....
history.nasa.gov...
After launch, Fendell successfully tracks the LM for 26 seconds. He finds it again, very briefly, at 45 seconds and, a minute later, points the TV back at the Descent Stage.
Of course, I only considered it a 4.8% chance that Foos would actually do the research...or, should say, actually POST what he/she learned, since it doesn't fit into the category of "throwing whatever inane thing I can find at the wall to see what will stick" pattern as seen.....repeatedly.
WMD your credibility has been shot.
You are dodging, bobbing and weaving from the challenge.
And hiding behind Apollo as your shield.
But Apollo is a myth.
So you are out in the cold.
Pow.
RIght between the eyes.
Down goes your credibility
Answering a question with another question is not an answer.
Why on Earth are you spamming this thread with that photo?
You expect me to answer a question about a photo that without any additional information
attached to it.
But what you have answered with strange circular reasoning is that astrophotography is impossible from the moon. Like I said before, its noted for the record.
.
NASA had conveniently GIMPED the Hassies so they could not effectively
take snapshots of the stars
Im moving on, a lot more material to cover,
you can spout your pablum all you want about this subject to other debunkers.
But I doubt they will be as patient as I have been.
LTMS.
Sore lose much?
You should apologize and retract your statement.

Again you show you lack of thinking in the picture above at what time of the DAY was it taken.
I will save you the bother NIGHT ie in the DARK NO SUN LIGHT.
How could they take a picture like that.
For that picture a long exposure to show the trails and fire your flashgun to expose the nearby landscape BUT the landscape would need to be in the DARK!!!!! or have very very low level light hitting it NOT the blazing sun as would happen on the Moon.
See Foosm you have to understand the SUBJECT!!!!!
Now to all the people WHO gave Foosm a star WHY do you think he NEVER ANSWERS any of the questions over the last few pages re pictures posted by DJW001 CHRLZ AND MYSELF

True but he goes out of his way to avoid questions that if he answers with the truth show what an IDIOT JW really is.
Have you seen JW's footprint video

Question...
Can someone tell me what position the moon was in relevant to the Earth and Sun at the time of the landings?
Did all missions occur during the same phases?
Here's a pic..
Positions are numbered 1-8..
Does anyone know or have a link to where I can see??
Please.

No, I've only watched a couple of his vids to be honest..
I'll go look at it now..I decided I needed a day off today.....
I do think the "no crater" stuff is interesting but not proof...
I wouldn't worry about who gets stars..
I see many unworthy posts from both sides of the debate get stared..
Then GOOD posts get none...
Look for a Moon phase calander on the net and put in the dates. I think this info was posted a hundred or so pages back but it could have been another thread so do a search.

To enhance pilot visibility, all of the landings took place on the terminator, or "lunar dawn." Call it "early morning."

how did they actually take a picture of the sun w/o a filter ?? !!!! If there is a fliter, what kinda is it, cuz' NASA couldn't do it.. and it fried their film..

Well I know little about photography but I'd assume they took the correct filters..
I do know they are not that big or heavy..
They would have FRIED film by pointing a camera "minus" the filter accidently at the sun I'd say..

However, observing the Sun can be dangerous if you do not take the proper precautions. The solar radiation that reaches the surface of Earth ranges from ultraviolet (UV) radiation at wavelengths longer than 290 nm to radio waves in the meter range. The tissues in the eye transmit a substantial part of the radiation between 380 and 1400 nm to the light-sensitive retina at the back of the eye. While environmental exposure to UV radiation is known to contribute to the accelerated aging of the outer layers of the eye and the development of cataracts, the concern over improper viewing of the Sun during an eclipse is for the development of "eclipse blindness" or retinal burns.
Exposure of the retina to intense visible light causes damage to its light-sensitive rod and cone cells. The light triggers a series of complex chemical reactions within the cells which damages their ability to respond to a visual stimulus, and in extreme cases, can destroy them. The result is a loss of visual function which may be either temporary or permanent, depending on the severity of the damage. When a person looks repeatedly or for a long time at the Sun without proper protection for the eyes, this photochemical retinal damage may be accompanied by a thermal injury - the high level of visible and near-infrared radiation causes heating that literally cooks the exposed tissue. This thermal injury or photocoagulation destroys the rods and cones, creating a small blind area. The danger to vision is significant because photic retinal injuries occur without any feeling of pain (there are no pain receptors in the retina), and the visual effects do not occur for at least several hours after the damage is done.

To improve the quality of television pictures from the Moon, a color camera was carried on Apollo 12 (unlike the monochrome camera that was used on Apollo 11). Unfortunately, when Bean carried the camera to the place near the lunar module where it was to be set up, he inadvertently pointed it directly into the Sun, destroying the SEC tube. Television coverage of this mission was thus terminated almost immediately.
As Steven-Boniecki recounts, there was opposition within NASA, including within the astronaut corps, to including TV cameras on their missions. They saw the cameras as distractions not essential to completing their missions, while taking up precious mass in the cramped spacecraft. The debate lasted well into the Apollo program. Frank Borman, commander of Apollo 8, was one initial critic of including TV cameras on the mission, believing that it served no purpose in carrying out the mission. “I didn’t want to take the damn television camera with me,” he recalls in the book. He was overruled by mission planners, though, and later realized his original views were “short sighted”. “It turned out to be so important because we could share what we saw with the world.”
Remarkably, even after Apollo 8 there was still a perception by some at NASA that television was not essential to the mission. In the final months of planning for the historic Apollo 11 mission there was debate as to whether include a TV camera on the lunar lander: scientists, for example, has no objection to including it, but had no requirement for it as well. It took the intervention of key people in the program, including Chris Kraft and public affairs director Julian Scheer, to get the camera included in order to show the American public what their tax dollars had financed. Even then, a NASA report on the mission prepared less than a month before launch and quoted in the book bent over backwards to provide a more technical rationale for the camera’s inclusion, including as “a supplemental real time data source to assure or enhance the scientific and operational data return.”
One peculiarity with the Goldstone TV was that the pictures always had a small white spot on them, located just above the centre of the broadcast image. In the videotapes of the doctored NASA versions of the EVA, this white spot suddenly appears black when the negative image segment is made positive. This confirms that the correction on these tapes was indeed made later by NASA.
