Do we know if the hairline crosses at the edge of the frame were added later, or if the camera was fitted with a reseau plate like the Apollo EVA cameras?

I have no idea.

Just wondered if they used photogrammetry as part of the analysis of these sorts of tests.

Hi Alex! Any idea on if it’s possible to make prints of these? They’re such powerful images, I’d love to obtain a copy (for personal use). Thanks!

I can send you any you would like. They are large files and often have a lot of dust spots on them, but they can be cleaned up.

That's really generous, thank you! What's the best way to connect? DM?
