Preliminary list:
Frames 2383 to 2396 show images of the gibbous earth near the curved lunar horizon, as seen through one of the small windows of Apollo 8's Command Module.
2397
2398
2399
- A mirror image of frame 2399 was printed on page 277 of Herbert J. Pichler's book Die Mondlandung; der menschheit grosstes abenteuer. The reproduction (the print) of this photograph looks remarkably bluish colored. This phenomenon (the chromatic out-of-balance appearance) is noticeable in almost all color-prints of orbital lunar photographs made during the missions of Apollo 8 and Apollo 10.
2400
- This photograph (frame 2400), and its preceding one (frame 2399), are two of the most reproduced orbital images of the moon's far side. Almost every pre-Apollo 11 book (read: books of pre-1969 spaceflight ending with mankind's first manned circumlunar mission of Apollo 8 in 1968) has these two photographs in it, abnormally greenish or bluish colored.

- A mirror image of frame 2447 was printed on page 276 of Herbert J. Pichler's book Die Mondlandung; der menschheit grosstes abenteuer. The reproduction (the print) of this photograph looks remarkably green-bluish colored. This phenomenon (the chromatic out-of-balance appearance) is noticeable in almost all color-prints of orbital lunar photographs made during the missions of Apollo 8 and Apollo 10.

Frames 2455 to 2462 show images of a small part of the moon's horizon, appearing near the lower right corner.
Frames 2463 to 2506 show images of the moon's orb, as seen through blue and red filters, and also without filters.
Frames 2507 to 2534 show images of the distant "half earth".
