“South tracking camera shows the moment the Apollo 8 S-IC stage begins its separation from the S-II stage, December 21, 1968.”

 

Talk about a rarely seen - let alone correctly (I’m pretty sure) identify/attribute - photograph/image. The above is paraphrased from the “APOLLO 11 SPACE” website, at:

Specifically:

Although I’d never heard of them before - and not to be an ass - but I lend much more credence to their identification than to anything N(Ass)A produced. And it looks like they have plenty of other interesting stuff.

 

With much appreciation to them!
