- Although Donati is not mentioned in the LPI's search list for orbital Apollo photographs, it WAS captured on several frames made by Apollo 16's south-looking mapping/metric Fairchild camera, such as frame AS16-M-0707, in which Donati and Faye (and their central peaks) are noticeable near the central part of the curved horizon.

Nomenclature
- Giovanni Battista Donati (December 16, 1826 – September 20, 1873) was an Italian astronomer. Between 1854 and 1864 he discovered six new comets, including the spectacular Comet Donati (C/1858 L1), found in 1858. He also pioneered spectroscopy of comets to determine their physical composition, discovering that the spectrum changed when a comet approached the Sun and heating caused it to emit its own light rather than reflected sunlight.
- According to Whitaker (p. 221), this name was introduced by Birt and Lee.
