- Orbital photograph AS11-42-6307, made during the mission of Apollo 11 in July 1969, shows the the fork-shaped part of Rimae Secchi which was nicknamed Apollo Rille during the pre-landing missions of Apollo 8 and 10. This section is located at 1° North/ 44° East.
- Apollo 10's orbital overviews of Rimae Secchi and its surroundings: AS10-33-4905, AS10-31-4517, AS10-32-4739
- The "right" section of the LPI's scan of Lunar Orbiter 5 photograph LO-V-051-med shows a detailed view of the area which fills the lower half of the murky image shown above (LO-IV-066-H1).
- The same area (the lower part of the image shown above) is also seen in another one of Lunar Orbiter 5's photographs (LO-V-042-med). This oblique photograph also shows part of the curved western horizon and very bright retro-reflection.
