Note:
If... Apollo 17's CDR Gene Cernan (or LMP Jack Schmitt) had time to perform a Stand-Up EVA on top of LM Challenger, something of the Trident craters might have been noticeable on the southward sections of the low-sun panoramas made with the handheld Hasselblad cameras.
The Stand-Up EVA was only performed during the mission of Apollo 15 at the Hadley plain, by CDR David Scott.
