and any one of those moon missions would have been a lousy time to say...point the camera straight up and snap the stars alone i bet. thank god they didnt waste any film on that, now we hall all these rocks to look at.


You make it sound so easy. If only astrophotography was actually that easy... First off the hassleblad cameras they had could not be set to an exposure long enough to capture significant amounts of stars, secondly they had no way of tracking the motion of the stars accurately during the exposure.

Apollo 16 did bring a UV telescope though that they used to photograph the earth and some stars in UV:
images.jsc.nasa.gov...

So I guess that fulfills your wish.
