The images for this panorama are new scans from the original film taken by the astronauts in 1971.

They were scanned by Kipp Teague for the Apollo Image Gallery

The camera used for this panorama was a special version of the Hasselblad 500.
It had a grid right in front of the film which gives you the hair crosses you can see in the panorama.

Several other Hasselblad cameras was also used.Also read the page at Hasselblad.se
