AS12-46-6841 is a remarkable example of the lunar "Heiligenschein" (Retro-Reflection) on the floor of Middle Crescent. The haze-like smudge in the centre of the photograph is due to dust on the Hasselblad-camera's lens. Note the long shadows of astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Jan 31, 2008
