Is it possible that the image was taken though the on-board sextant and telescope that the Apollo CM was equipped with?

I immediately got the same impression. It appears to be a cross-hair on recital used for some type of maneuvering, such as docking between the LEM and Command module.

that would make it difficult (if not impossible) to take the photo with the Hasselblad through either the telescope or the sextant.
The photographic equipment and materials carried by Apollo 8 were designed specifically to achieve the principal photographic objectives, which were to obtain (1) vertical and oblique overlapping, or stereo strip, photographs during at least two revolutions, (2) photographs of specified targets of opportunity, and (3) photographs of a potential landing site through the spacecraft sextant.

It looks like they figured out how to take photos through the sextant on Apollo 8, anyway…

It took me some time to find the original. Sue me.
You know, not everything is an alien spaceship. Or something extraterrestrial. Pictures do have processing errors, as well as lens scratches. Especially the cameras back then.

The sextant had a very narrow field of view, it was certainly used to take pictures of possible landing sites on Apollo 8, could then the Moon picture have been taken in that way in Apollo 9? There was also a 16mm cine camera adapted to use the sextant on Apollo 8.
On Apollo 9 there were also four Hassleblads in window ports, the most likely source of the Moon picture which is more hassle per the op's picture since the green filter seems to be present as was infra red in different pictures. With the green filter in place that could make those black lines in the Op's picture of red in original colour. But then the window ports had their own problems because they were also filtered. So what you have, is four windows, each with a Hasselblad and a need to differentiate between the four with all the dirt and gubbins associated with each individual camera, another filtered window, all false colour images, something like a two foot imageing gap between cameras and different forms of 'glass' to the outside world. Biggest problem then was to navigate the stars with all the crap expended from the spacecraft, docking and undocking.

If it L shape then we are screw..
Very interesting Sir..
Hope someone can explain it..it very Huge!

BREAKING! Whistleblower EXPOSES GOV'T SHUTDOWN And FEMA - 10/20/2013 - UFO Coverup - ISON
We arranged and did the interview over the telephone, from which he called us. The number he called from was spoofed, meaning that his original location was blocked from means of tracking. This has been verified to be true. The name he used in the interview is an alias, as well as certain locations mentioned in the interview.
