Dutch Apollo TV broadcasts

Greetings webforum users,

The Dutch news/TV station NOS, covered the Apollo, Skylab and ASTP projects live and with recorded NASA feeds.

They covered everything from Apollo 7 or 8 to 17.
Within this archive, at 'private-1-AS##' you can view the amateur video tape recordings of Apollo 11 through 17 as they were experienced by the dutch populace.

archive.org...

The first few are in B/W, and it looks like he later upgraded to a colour-capable system.

To my knowledge these are the best amateur video/audio recordings of the Apollo video feed in existence. Especially the later recordings rival the NASA archives, as sometimes all NASA has are telecine recordings.

And because the NOS taped over their own recordings of their broadcast, these recordings represent 99% of the existing NOS footage.

Please enjoy, and tell me what you think!

I am curious if it would be possible to 'stack' video that has the same scene. Like the first minute of private-1-AS17-3? Amateur astronomers stack thousands of video frames to get a sharper picture with less noise.

PS: Yes I am Dutch!

Thanks for the link, neighbour.

And greetings from Cologne!

I tried to look for german television broadcasts of the missions, but could not find any. I do have some audio recordings, but no video.

Do you know if Germany had TV broadcasts, and where to find them?

Greetings from the Netherlands!

I doubt stacking would work to reduce noise, noise reduction uses multiple frames taking in sequence because noise levels vary between pictures its not at exactly the same position or intensity so can be averaged out a stack of identical frames won't do that.

Netjes gedaan!
Zeker waard om even terug te kijken. Ook goed van de NOS om dit zo geconserveerd te houden.

In english:
Nicely done!
absolutely worth it to watch again. Also, good conservation from the NOS.

what a great thread and quality information you present

Thank you immensely

I have attempted to stack some video footage to pictures. I have also made panorama's.

I used Microsoft ICE 2.0 for the panorama's and Autostakkert! for the stacks.

They can also be found here among other things: www.flickr.com...@N03/albums/72157672325898307

Thanks for sharing!! I'll have to check these out.

My BF is Dutch and lives in Holland (he corrects me if I say The Netherlands). It's a beautiful country and I can't wait to go back.

But it IS the Netherlands. Holland is only a region in the country.

Hi from Amsterdam by the way.
