Notwithstanding this statement from August 2015:<br /><br /><i>"The idea that I would put negatives or prints on a scanner, and a) not clean the screen, and b) not make sure there was no dust on the negatives etc. etc.— is ludicrous. That is a straw man that people are putting out there—it's not true."</i><br /><br />That was RCH interrupting Stuart Robbins, <a href="https://pseudoastro.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/why-i-called-richard-hoaglands-radio-show-today-why-i-used-a-pseudonym-and-what-we-learned/" rel="nofollow">who successfully called in</a> to the radio show.<br /><br />« So, did Hoagie reply anywhere? »<br />Nah.expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369924104634464934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-7413222749546163462018-03-16T05:26:34.216-07:002018-03-16T05:26:34.216-07:00Now we're taking the fight to the dog!

I like it, expat.<br /><br />Interesting "artifacts" on both images.<br /><br />The "3-clawed alien cat scratch", the "big, dried booger" (below it) and the "big finger smear" appear on both images, suggesting they are probably all on the scanner glass. I'm guessing the one that Hoagie keeps in the cupboard by the sink in his trailer, that he used to scan these images out of some book he filched from a local library somewhere. Whatever, the images appear to have been scanned by some ham-fisted amateur operator with no idea of cleanliness or care.<br /><br />There seems to be a lot of dust (not Lunar dust!) visible the Quarter Moon image, but not sure if they are also on the Full Moon shot due to, well, plain lack of effort... Haven't spotted any beard hairs though.<br /><br />Haven't overlaid the images, but them 'artie-facts' do look near identical.<br /><br />So, did Hoagie reply anywhere?<br /><br />Actually, I would like to know where those images came from, too.<br />Two Percentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-90404188054936779512018-03-14T10:27:27.823-07:002018-03-14T10:27:27.823-07:00I think this image gives a clue to the origin of t...I think this image gives a clue to the origin of the image, though I know that the camera data recorded with each image is not the same format as that shown on Hoagland's ones.<br /><br />https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_feature/public/images/324271main_tiros_full.jpg<br /><br />the transmission banding is quite evident.OneBigMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848865750227452987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-15373979396273764382018-03-14T07:03:50.436-07:002018-03-14T07:03:50.436-07:00Thanks for your comment.

I don't know enough about the American film return missions (Discoverer/Corona) and the image formats used to comment further, but it does not look like the Luna Orbiter images either.Grahamnoreply@blogger.com
