Pretty close to overhead

LJ — 5/31/2001 8:01:49 PM (archived)

Hi, Macia - according to the data at
http://barsoom.msss.com/moc_gallery/m13_m18/images/M14/M1401682.html
the MOC was only 0.23 degrees off vertical over the image, at an altitude of 370 km. The image is about 33x3 km. It's more like this photo from Earth:

No reflections, except from the sun.
