Easynow, thank you for sharing this find
As i've already said via U2U, the find is interesting, IMHO, at least worthy to discussed.
In according to the Apollo 10 Lunar Photography Index Map, the area covered by the image in question should be the one that i've colorized here:
www.lpi.usra.edu...
ndexmap03/150dpi.jpg
So it could be some odd shaped ejecta of some crater between the camera and CHAPLYGIN, (for example, Marconi)
but it's extremely hard to say: the orientation wouldn't be the one indicated by the map, and the very bad quality of the image and the lack of some higher version of the same image don't help: theare are many craters in the image, but they are almost invisible: so the formation could really be anything
Another thing that can be done is to check if the area that here is dubbed 4797 is covered in some of the maps that can be found here:
www.lpi.usra.edu...
i really have no idea what we are looking at, and i agree that the shadows are not completely consistent with what supposedly is casting them.
I'll try to find some more stuff, but i don't know if i'll be able to find something interesting.
Thanks for sharing.

The object described by some as a glass dome behind Bean is actually nothing more than a simple lens flare. Whats more, many of the Apollo pictures show exactly the same type and shape flare. Sorry for bursting your bubble!

If you think THAT is an anomaly, check out this thread. In my opinion it's the best "space anomaly" picture I've ever seen. This one happens to be on Mars.
