This data set was prepared from black and white master positives produced on a Niagara printer on 5- by 48-in. film. The data are reproduced from the original 5- by 48-in. 3414 black and white film used with the panoramic 24-in. camera in the SIM bay of the CSM. These photographs are suitable for photometric and photogrammetric investigations. The quality of the photographs is generally very good and includes some good near-terminator coverage. The photographs cover areas on the Moon from 180 deg. E longitude to 70 deg. W and plus or minus 25 deg. latitude.
