more on lunar surface stereo...

118:47:08 Gibson: Pete, will you confirm that you have the stereo-camera (Gold camera) over in the Sun? (Pause) 

      [The formal name of the stereo camera is the Apollo Lunar Surface Close-up Camera or ALSCC, and there was a checklist item just after 1+08 to
      "Place ALSCC on Surf(ace) in Direct Sun". In part because of the disruption of their scheduled caused by the TV accident, Pete neglected this
      step prior to starting his pans at about 116:22.]

118:47:17 Bean: Is your stereocamera in the Sun, Pete?

118:47:19 Conrad: Ah (thinking), no. Just a second.

118:47:20 Bean: Okay.

118:47:21 Conrad: I want to see that first.

118:47:23 Bean: (Chuckling) Okay. (Pause) Okay.

118:47:26 Conrad: Stereocamera going into the Sun.

118:47:27 Bean: (Garbled; Pause) Wait a minute. I've got to take this tool off.

118:47:32 Conrad: Remove the (Gold) camera. Okay. (Garbled) over on the Y-pad, next to my handy-dandy rock box 2, which is neatly covered. You want it
sitting in the sunshine, is that correct, Houston?

118:47:50 Gibson: That's affirmative, Pete.

That is part of the transcript of an EVA from Apollo 12. It's available online at

If you set your browser to look for "stereo" you'll find several conversations about
it - inluding a "shifted foot" discussion about getting a stereo pair...
