Is a fantastic terrific shot  :D

But Isn't the eagle is backwards at that altitude ,while is descending on the tranquilly sea? or maybe you took the spinning of the module to stop and decend  ::)

Thanks for all the comments so far for such a little time posted  ;D ;D

but alrot the LM is the correct way up for that altitude. The pic i found was taken from a CSM during one of the apollo mission i forget which one but one of them.

ahhh thanks :D

ive got that through the whole production of the image

most of its like "ahhh leigh its umm well upside down???"

the only thing about space shots i hate its trying to convey direction within the shots i find that to be the hardest thing
