Apollo 11 TV Polaroids from HSK
showing the slow-scan television picture (10 frames per second, 320 lines
resolution)
from the Moon on a monitor at
Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station, near Canberra, Australia
Monday 21st July 1969
(Australian time)
The
descriptions (most likely by Bernard Scrivener)
are those written on the back of the Polaroids and are blue
bold.
Timing notes by Colin
Mackellar are in red. The images have been cleaned up and enhanced.
Notes:
The first frame was taken while the international TV audience was still seeing poor quality pictures from Goldstone.
At least the second and third frames were taken during the period Sydney Video and the international audience were taking Honeysuckle and before Parkes came online.
Note the lights at Honeysuckle reflected at the top of the screen.
Larger versions (scanned by John Saxon at 300dpi)
but without the white border on the Polaroids.
