Buzz Aldrin Two overlapping photographs of Buzz Aldrin's first panorama of Tranquility Base showing the lunar horizon looking north over Eagle shadow, unpublished views, Apollo 11, 16-24 July 1969 Vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper [NASA photos No AS11-40-5883, AS11-40-5884, originally shot on colour film], 20.3 x 25.4 cm (8 x 10 in), numbered AS11-40-5883, 40-5884 in margin, with original handwritten USGS inventory numbers identifying lunar rocks (NASA/USGS), (2)Footnotes: Aldrin took his first panoramic sequence as he was standing in the shadow of Eagle from a position 7 m west of the LM ladder. The TV camera which recorded the EVA is visible in the second photograph.I took the first panorama out in front without having the camera mounted on the RCU and it did not appear to be unnatural to do so. It's much easier to operate with it mounted; however, I didn't find that the weight of the camera was as much a hindrance to operation as pre-flight simulations indicated it would be.
