To detect the location of a less-known region such as Lacus Gaudii on orbital photographs made during the Apollo program is a real pleasure.
Apollo 17's oblique southward looking Fairchild camera photograph AS17-M-2420 shows Lacus Gaudii slightly leftward of the frame's centre. Earlier in the mission, it was captured at centre of frame AS17-M-1667.
