This guy is either a delibarate or accidental fraud.

If you check out the original version of the image (not the one cleaned up for the website that he used) it is unaltered and has nothing abnormal about it.

Location of original images:
poc.smartlogic.com...

Image name is AS17-134-20382.

As a web developer myself, it's common to beautify and 'correct' images for websites to make them more appealing.

This guy has refused to use the originals and has also blocked me from posting on his YouTube video for pointing out simple facts like these.

I have only checked the first image in his video.

I recommend anyone seriously interested in the Apollo spacecraft checkout a book called "Apollo 11 Owner's Workshop Manual" it's full of really interesting tidbits about the various subsystems of the vehicle. That being said, naked eye star visualization was probably very difficult due to solar glare. However, the Apollo guidance system used a special instrument called a fixed sextant:

The CM had a fixed sextant the AOT, which could measure angles between stars, and Earth or Moon landmarks and planetary horizon. The unit included a scanning telescope for star sightings, and could be used to determine position and orientation in space. In contrast, the LM had an Alignment Optical Telescope, and could only determine the craft's orientation. The outer element of the AOT was a sun-shielded prism that could be rotated to one of three fixed positions relative to the LM, in order to cover a large portion of the lunar sky. When rotated, the AOT's position was readable by the AGC; by pointing the reticule at several different stars, the computer could determine the craft's orientation
from en.wikipedia.org...

This system worked so well (along with the guidance computer) that very few sightings were necessary to keep the ship on course.
