As promised, here are links to John Lear's "Lick Observatory" shots...
John's words about these pictures:
John Lear's description of "Lick Observatory" images:
These 2 pictures of the moon LICKOBS9 and LICKOBSA were sent to me by a NASA photo contractor, unrequested along with LO-II-162H and a few others that
I had ordered.
I have not been able to find out any information of LICKOBS9 except that it is similar to photos of the moon, taken by Lick Observatory, shown in
magazines and posters.
LICKOBSA
Lick Observatory, 1946 January 17d 07h 51m UT phase 13.80, colongitude 82o. This plate was taken about two-thirds of a day before full moon. The plate
has been specially printed to avoid the extreme full moon contrast. At full moon many of the details are lost in the glare.
