Fifty years ago today on July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 launched on it’s historic mission to land people on the Moon! I pulled out some kit to photograph the moon and see where Apollo 11 landed in the Sea of Tranquility.

Neil Armstrong took most of the lunar images on the Moon, so naturally Buzz Aldrin was then subject on the majority. However this one is the best image of Neil on the Moon as taken by Buzz!
