Awrite, Troy ! IIRC, they used a scanning disc camera for some reason the 1st couple of times they went to the Moon in '69. Either a scanning disc camera was lighter, or they didn't think a std TV camera would work up there for some reason... Hard to believe that was gettin' on to 50 yrs ago now...
