- Morley was captured on Apollo 16's panoramic ITEK-camera frame AS16-P-4412. To detect Morley, scroll all the way toward the frame's right margin until you see a crater with a tiny bright high-albedo craterlet on its floor. This tiny speck of bright material (at the western part of Morley's floor) is also noticeable on LAC 80 (page 160) in B.Bussey's and P.Spudis's Clementine Atlas (you shall need a powerful magnifying glass to see it on this printed page!).
- Although washed-out because of the proximity of the sun's bright retro-reflection, it (Morley) is also seen on frames AS16-P-5168 and AS16-P-5173. On these two frames it is not necessary to scroll rightward because Morley is already visible near the screen's right margin!
