The worst time to photograph the moon is when it’s full as there are no shadows. The downside is they won’t see all of the far side. Ray (Cheshire, England).

You mean with part of Orion and Moon on the right? 😄 thats not a still, its a live view. At that distance the size of the Moon changes slowly. As they get closer the Moon will increase in size faster.
April 7Apr 7 Author 6:27 is about the closest. This looks like a low res external camera. I think its on the end of one of the solar panels. The better images will be downloaded to NASA, I would think.
April 7Apr 7 They only have a tiny amount of bandwidth (compared to most of us down here) and most of that is taken up with telemetry, comms and med science stuff for each crew member. Whats left is used for the go pro's mounted on each of the 4 solar arrays. On future missions bandwidth wll be increased and with the potential for a communication network of satellites around the moon should make for better coverage. Some images are being sent back via a laser link now they're heading home, but the images they physicaly bring back should be amazing.
