- Chamberlin as seen by a Hasselblad camera of Apollo 15, and captured on color film: AS15-96-13093. In this photograph, the location of Chamberlin is immediately below the frame's centre. See also the Hi-Res scan: AS15-96-13093 HR.
- The 16th item in C.A.Wood's list of Concentric Craters (1978) is the one east of Chamberlin. This Concentric Crater was captured on Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-009-h1 (look for the central one in the trio of bowl-shaped craters near the frame's lower left corner).
