"Forgotten" orbital Apollo photographs of Deseilligny (absence of the name Deseilligny in the LPI's scans):
- Oblique southward-looking views of Deseilligny are seen in Apollo 15's orbital ITEK-panoramic frames AS15-P-9320 and AS15-P-9325. Deseilligny is the pronounced bowl-shaped crater near the left margins of both frames.
- Oblique northward-looking views of Deseilligny: ITEK-frames AS15-P-9894 and 9899 (on both frames, scroll toward the right margins).
- Post sunrise views of Deseilligny: Apollo 17's ITEK-frames AS17-P-2337 and 2342 (scroll rightward beyond the centres of both frames).
