Look carefully again for a change in the appearance of the ground’s texture and coloration, and note
the placement of the Lunar Rover to hide much of the stage edge.

Jay Weidner states that not all Apollo photographs used the front screen projection system. Some,
especially those of Apollo 11 and 12, simply had a black background which would not have required
any image to be projected. In the later Apollo missions it becomes especially evident that the front
screen projection system was used. Jay Weidner goes on to mention the anomalies discovered by
Richard Hoagland, revealing them to be further evidence of use of the front screen projection system.

If you enlarge the image above you can see the two blips of light in the black sky. These are caused
by misaligned glass beads in the Scotchlite material which are reflecting light back at the camera.
Normally, the Scotchlite will only reflect light that strikes it at a right angle, but the rare misaligned
bead will cast light in other directions. As Hoagland enhances the image, the fabric background
becomes obvious.
