WARNING: the name McClure is mentioned on many orbital frames of Apollo 12's three stereo-strips 56-B, 56-C, and 56-D. In fact, most of these frames don't show McClure at all! All the frames of these three stereo-strips show the same caption: DESCARTES - LALANDE - MCCLURE - THEOPHILUS (which seem to have been four of the most important "landmarks" on these stereo-strips).- DannyCaes DannyCaes Aug 15, 2010
- Apollo 8's oblique southward-looking Hasselblad frame AS08-13-2219 shows McClure near the frame's upper right corner.
