This data set consists of magazines V and W from the Hycon topographic camera, reproduced from the originals, with quality control on the density through exposure control and dodging techniques. The Hycon camera provided vertical stereo coverage, on the fourth revolution pass, of the Descartes Highland region where Apollo 16 will land. Coverage of the lunar surface is from 28 deg E to 17 deg E, which includes the area from the east rim of Theophilus to Dollond MA. The altitude of the spacecraft over this region ranged from 12.5 to 20 km depending on the ground elevation. Resolution ranges from 2 to 3 m. The overall quality of the photography is good, but some frames appear blurred at the edges.
