Lacus Felicitatis was captured on many orbital frames made during the Apollo program.
Apollo 17's oblique southward looking Fairchild-camera frame AS17-M-1673 shows Lacus Felicitatis near the frame's right margin, while AS17-M-2426 shows it near the frame's centre.

Ina's remarkable bluish coloration

Apollo 17's orbital color Hasselblads of the Lacus Felicitatis region show very well Ina's remarkable bluish coloration. This blue color is also noticeable on the LROC's WAC Albedo/Color Map, see close-up of the Lacus Felicitatis region: http://bit.ly/1GOUc0D

Nomenclature

- "Lake of Happiness".
- Called the Saddled Donkey by the dedicated observer of the moon Aleksander Božič (SandiBandi) from Slovenia, see comments section below this page.
