I always thought that the Lunar Rover was parked more in line with the center of the Lunar Module. Seeing it in the pic, it’s off to the left of the LM’s centerline. Still, the video if Challenger’s liftoff was great. Ed Fendell managed to follow her up to pitch over and a little bit of its flight downrange. Great work given the time delay in sending the commands to the camera and getting it to respond to a moving object.

Still, that’s a remarkable photo. I hope a later orbiter will carry a much better camera to get even better high res photos of the six landing sites. And in color. That would be so neat. The pic of Apollo 12’s landing site is equally good.
