More time corrections?

I spotted someone posting the view of Eaeth through the sextant telescope and noted the time stamp of 106:53:22.

My own studies of Earth images in Apollo 17 put that view at 084:47:19, where Evans references looking at Earth through the sextant adaptor.

The weather patterns in the image are a match for the Hasselblad photo AS17-148-22763.  Using weather satellite data (and following the sequence of Earth images as they go along) I've put that photo at 081:40:02, rather than the position you have it at, around 61 hours!

The crew describe the Iberian peninsula at 82 hours, something they wouldn't have been able to see at 61!

See here for my version of the sequence of events, which I'm always happy to correct if I'm wrong!

Excellent work! If you'd like to contribute new timings for any of the photography on Apollo in Real Time, I can give you the excel spreadsheet that we process into the website timings. You can edit the timestamps there and I can get the changes onto the website.
