Inscriptions typed on applied label affixed to mount verso, TC: Lunar Orbiter III - 80mm Lens [underlined] \ Medium Resolution Photograph of Site S-29 (KI-3057) [underlined] \ The view in this photograph is from the southwestern edge of \ Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms) near Grimaldi. The Orbiter was \ at about 61°W and 5°S at an altitude of about 36 statute miles, looking \ northward. Only the northeastern edge of Grimaldi appears in the \ photograph near the upper right horizon. The bright spot along the \ right hand border where the maria gives way to the rugged mountain \ terrain is part of the small crater Grimaldi C. On the other margin \ of the photograph at the near edge of the mountainous terrain is the \ small crater Damoiseau E, about 8 miles in diameter. The crater \ slightly right of center, containing so much character and giving the \ appearance of being a crater within a crater is Damoiseau.
