One doesn't have to hope. The photographs in which Venus appears have been matched in Stellarium to their expected positions at that time, date, as seen from that place on the Moon. Venus is the only planet photographed from the lunar surface.
So only one.
Venus was the only planet able to be photographed from the lunar surface with the Hasselblad cameras. Its position was matched using Stellarium to confirm it was in the expected position.
Which brings us back to the point made earlier. If one can accurately determine where the stars should be, then the same knowledge can be used to place them in the images.
I'm not sure. It's possible a boffin could place them locationwise. Whilst Venus, Mercury and Mars (the red one) albeit hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of miles away from each other in reality, from our aspect on Earth, they can often be seen together, and sometimes Jupiter is bright enough, too. Not sure where the star constellations come in but then perhaps it could only tell us whether it's Southern or Northern hemisphere because obviously, they're used as fixed navigation points (e.g., the Southern Cross) so won't vary much at all.
The smart hoax advocates usually concede this one on the first pass. "We don't know where to put the stars, therefore we'll just leave them out and no one will miss them."
And it would have come as a big surprise to all the private manufacturers of planetarium instruments, including the people who made the lenses for the Apollo cameras.
Funny, I am.
Irrelevant. The claim is self-defeating. If no boffin exists who can determine where the stars should be, then there's no problem putting stars in the wrong place. If some boffin knows where the stars should be, he can be hired to do it right.
Jupiter is not bright enough to be photographed with the Hasselblad cameras. I demonstrated this for you early in the thread. Venus is the only planet bright enough to be photographed with the still cameras. It was photographed and verified to appear in the expected place.
Funny, I am. The stars in the celestial sphere do not change their relative positions when moving from Earth to Moon.
The television camera used on Apollo 11, when adjusted for daylight exposure, could not register stars. As you are well aware, that is beyond the dynamic range of any camera.
Any schoolkid knows that the closest the inner plants get to each other is in the order of tens of millions of kilometers. Planets in the solar system never get remotely close to being within the order of hundreds of thousands of miles from each other.
In reality, the Earth and its Moon are hundreds of thousands of miles apart.
Vixen is so proud to display her vast ignorance of all things science.
I said 'hundreds of thousands if not millions' to allow for the fact Brits and Americans don't always mean the same thing!
As @Foster Zygote said, "the notion that they couldn't have composited those stars into the photos betrays a lack of knowledge."
@Vixen was unable to think that through, but @JayUtah figured it out.
@Vixen didn't remember that. Must have forgotten. When there are so many corrections to be ignored, it's easy to forget some of them.
@Vixen didn't know that.
@Vixen didn't know that.
Millions of Brits and Europeans are aware that the words "thousand" and "million" mean the same thing in the UK as in the Americas.
She does, and that's why we can hear hideous cackling coming from her direction, under that bridge over there ...
Utter nonsense. Astronomers know with great precision exactly where every planet is going to be, even many years into the future. Pioneer 10 and 11 and Voyager 1 and 2, launched between 1972 and 1977, all made very precise rendezvous with planets years in the future. Again, just because you don't understand how something can be done, doesn't mean it can't be done.
