Staple-bound NASA manual entitled "Apollo 11 Photographic and Scientific Debriefing," with subtitle, "Operational Photography, Lunar-Surface Photography, General Observations," prepared by the Lunar Surface Operations Planning Office, 149 pages, 8 x 10.5, dated August 12, 1969. The booklet features a transcription of the Apollo 11 photographic and scientific debriefings conducted at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory on August 6, 1969. Where possible, the last names of those who asked questions were indicated at the extreme left of each page; otherwise the word Query was used. An example of the transcription dialogue is as follows: "QUERY: Was the RCU bracket difficult to use? Did you find it easier to handhold and point the camera to take a picture, rather than to attach and detach the camera from the RCU bracket? / ARMSTRONG: Buzz did some handheld shots. I did almost all mine from the RCU mount, which I thought was a very convenient place to take pictures from. / ALDRIN: I think control and consistent pointing of the camera are enhanced by the use of the RCU. One can maintain a more constant orientation of the camera. I did the first panorama without using it, because it seemed fairly natural to hold the camera with the hand grip. It surprised me a good bit because the camera is so heavy, even the lighter-weight models that we have." Spine of manual marked in felt tip: "Apollo 11 SCI. Debriefing." In fine condition.
