Why is normal in quotes? Do you mean visible light vs filtered monochrome with false-color outputs or infrared/radio/x-ray like some other telescopes use? Would that be the abnormal you are referring? The Apollo images were taken with Hasselblad film cameras that were "normal" cameras[0].

- oliyoung 7mo agoI think they mean "consumer" or "off the shelf" as opposed to "custom build for the mission", we've seen iPhone and GoPro photos
- dylan604 7mo agoWhat's custom built? They're using stock Nikon bodies, and as you've said iPhone and GoPros. Where's the confusion?

- dylan604 7mo agoI understand what cameras were used. I'm asking why normal was in quotes. What else would there have been?

- asimovDev 7mo agoI am curious to see how being namedropped by NASA affects the sales of these cameras. It's probably not as much as I am imagining but still not an insignificant number. Probably less than Nutella that accidentally flew off the shelf live on stream straight across the shot
