AS17-M-2830 The fact that Tucker’s floor appears strongly offset from its rim is at least partially an effect of perspective. In this north-up rectified Apollo Metric Camera view, Tucker was near the edge of the original frame (and therefore viewed at an oblique angle from the south).

- Apollo 10's oblique Hasselblad-camera frame AS10-33-4891 shows the bright appearance of Tucker.
- Apollo 15's orbital panoramic ITEK-camera frame AS15-P-9729 shows the bright Tucker about halfway between the frame's centre and its right margin (scroll to the right).
