Agatharchides Mosaic

Agartharchides is the crater in the background. The lighter colored area in the foreground is informally known as the "Helmut" because of its shape. This mosaic is from color images, but there must have been some problem with the color balance as most areas of the moon are nearly neutral shades of gray.

Bob,
WONDERFUL!!!
Despite the curious yellowish color of Apollo 16's Hasselblads (as they appear on the LPI's pages), your assembled panorama of "The Helmet" is the most interesting view of it that I have ever seen!
However, it would be much more interesting if you could make a second page of it, showing the assembled panorama "upside-down" (North toward the top, East to the right). This way it would be much more recognizable for telescopic moonobservers on Earth.
