GENERAL SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS

11:45 A.M.

Ney: Any stars in the daytime?

: No

Stafford: In twilight as we crossed the sun line, (saw) Antares.

Ciernan: Sunrise on the adapter and on the nose are quite different for the two of us (two different windows, two different views).

: He could see stars while I was in daylight

Stafford: (Schitra saw) 3 stars in Orion's Belt during Gemini VI, and Sirius and Rigel.

Lowman: 50 or 60 useful pictures of S. America; only had a few before.

Ciernan: Could only see streams fligkering through (the jungle?) Very dark above the rain forest. "Greens," no.. Black tempered with green.

Lowman: Any blues off the NW coast of S.America?

Stafford: C n't answer.

Ciernan: Hasselblad with filter..

Stafford: Maurer (camera).. Did not have the GT-10 (terrain photography) flight plan, no onboard data (to direct this picture taking).

: Maurer worked well, better than the Hasselblad. A strip over Africa was taken.

Dunkelman: Use faster speed, 1/500th sec.. why not try? Towering decks of clouds..

MSC ques. re STRAPS

Ciernan: I'm against straps, lanyards and tethers.. If have to get up, you will need restraint because your feet will start floating...
