Who said technology isn't pretty? TGE at Apollo 17

Last week my son and I went to video-tape the private space collection of Steve Jurvetson at Future Ventures, bit.ly/3wt0MtW. I took some photos after the video session.

 

This instrument was made for the traverse gravimeter experiment (TGE) of the Apollo 17 mission. It was mounted on the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), and measured the relative gravity at a number of places around landing area. The photo shows the center piece that measured the gravity on the moon very accurately. The instrument is gold-plated. See more info on the gold-plated instrument at go.nasa.gov/3dygqeO. See more photos on the Quality HDR Photography FB page at bit.ly/3rN9vDG.

 

I processed a realistic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
