#LOIRP

I don't often take moon pictures, but when I do I store them on AMPEX FR-900.

A large rack of an AMPEX FR-900 reel tape recorder, and another rack containing a CRT and more electronics.

A similar tower of electronics, looking like a complex yet meaningful mess of devices and cables. It's the FR-900 from the McMoon office.

The first picture of earth from the moon. Black/white, striped from scanning (I guess), large moon surface at the bottom, smaller earth at the top.
