- Dorsum Bucher was captured on four of Apollo 15's orbital ITEK-panoramic frames:
AS15-P-10306 and 10311. Both stereoscopic frames show the north-northwestern part of Dorsum Bucher (scroll to the right, beyond the centre of both frames).
AS15-P-10304 and 10309. Both stereoscopic frames show the south-southeastern part of Dorsum Bucher, with its somewhat rectilinear "coffin"-shaped oblong hill-like extension (scroll to the right, slightly beyond the centre of both frames). This oblong hill is called Mons Bucher by D.Caes.
- Apollo 15's orbital Hasselblad frame AS15-92-12475 shows the south-southeastern extension of Dorsum Bucher. Note the curious rectilinear "coffin"-like shape of the elongated Mons Bucher.
- It (Mons Bucher) is also noticeable "at about 2 o'clock" from the centre of Apollo 15's Fairchild-metric mapping frame AS15-M-2741.
