Inscriptions typed on applied label affixed to mount verso, TC: Lunar Orbiter III - 80mm Lens [underlined] \ Medium Resolution Photograph of Site S-13 (KI-3104) [underlined] \ Orbiter III was at a position of about 1°W, 5°N, looking north and \ slightly east from an altitude of about 30 nautical miles when this photo- \ graph was taken. The large crater in the right foreground is Murchison, \ which is about 15 miles in diameter. About one third of its neighboring \ crater Pallas is seen at the left. The crater Ukert with the obvious bump \ in the middle is seen slightly right of center of the photo toward the top. \ Ukert is about 12 miles in diameter and is about 50 miles from Murchison. \ In the distance is Mare Vaporum (Sea of Vapors). On the horizon just right \ of center on a straight line through the centers of Murchison and Ukert is \ an unnamed mountain about 200 miles away. On the horizon in the upper left \ corner are the foothills of the Apennines; the base of Marco Polo is just \ seen at the edge of the picture. The upper right edge of the photograph \ just misses the crater Manilius.
