a11_r_bw_o_TPMBK (AS11-42-6248)
"An Apollo 11 oblique view of the lunar farside in the area of International Astronomical Union crater No. 312, which is about 30 statute miles in diameter. The center of the photograph is located at 164 degrees west longitude and 8 degrees south latitude. The sharp shadows indicate that the picture was taken at a low sun angle."
This photograph - and I'm serious - is too sharp & crystal clear...it's like hurting my eyes. Not to mention the intense contrast. Must be CGI. ;-)
The view is toward the southwest. The crater just slightly up and to the right of the center of the photograph, with the fairly complex central peak is Crookes Crater. The rugged shadowed region along and toward the bottom of the photograph is the southwestern rim of Korolev Crater.
