- Sampson and the Gang of Four (east-northeast of Sampson) are also noticeable a little bit to the "right" of the centre of Apollo 15's orbital oblique north-looking Fairchild-Metric/Mapping frame AS15-M-1550.
- The five of them (Sampson and the Gang of Four) were also captured near the lower right corner of Fairchild-frame AS15-M-2063.
