I carefully examined Lunar Orbiter II 2085;

And Lunar Orbiter II 2088;
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunarorbiter/images/preview/2088_med.jpg
I measured the distances between widely separated landmarks that were common to both images and found relatively small, but easily measurable differences in the landmark separation distances for the two different Lunar Orbital shots(2085 and 2088). Quantitatively I was getting 3 mm, 4 mm, sometimes even a half centimeter difference in these distances when comparing the measurements derived from the two different photos.

Thus the need for actual professional methods. I show a complete lack of differences on features
I select. How is this possible? Because a single arithmatic transform fails utterly to describe the difference in projections.
Note the following;
The Lunar Orbiter is not hovering. At shot 2085 we note per the Lunar Orbiter Photo Gallery data given that he bird is at; altitude 51.37 km, latitude .80 north degrees and longitude 23.71 east. 2088 is taken from altitude 51.96 kilometers , latitude 0.70 north and longitude 24.11 east.
The distances between the vantages for shots 2085 and 2088 are ostensibly trivial. Altitude wise the shot vantage differs by .59 kilometers or .37 miles. Latitude wise the difference is 0.1 degrees. Each one degree on the surface of the moon at the equator covers about 18.86 miles and so 0.1 degrees is roughly 1.87 miles. This high up it would be a bit more, but 50 kilometers as compared with the moon's diameter is still trivial given the point being made here, so I'll go back and do an exact calculation later. For the sake of simply getting this important point out now, I'll use this relatively good estimate for now. The longitude difference for the two shots is .4 degrees or 7.544 miles. Not much at all.
Now, one can easily measure a difference between the distances on the two orbiter images 2085 and 2088. This, despite only .37 miles difference in altitude, 0.1 degrees in latitude and 0.4 degrees in longitude.
If the Orbiter couldn't snap 2088 just after 2085 in such a way that the spatial quantities/landmark separation distances as we have been discussing were not indistinguishable, HOWEVER COULD ONE SUGGEST THAT THE EAGLE COULD ACCIDENTALLY ACCIDENTALLY ACCIDENTALLY JUST HAPPEN TO FIND THAT EXACT EXACT EXACT SPOT ABOVE THE MOON AT AN ALTITUDE OF 51.37 KILOMETERS, LATITUDE 0.80 NORTH AND 23.71 EAST AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER POINTING THE CAMERA IN THE EXACT SAME ANGLE AS THE LUNAR ORBITER II'S CAMERA WAS POINTED IN AT THIS TIME???????
Impossible!!!!!!! Proof Positive of FRAUD!
If measurable discrepancies can be found in distances measured from one landmark to the next for 2 Orbiter shots taken less than a moment apart and so from virtually the same vantage, however could it have been possible for the Eagle to take a picture featuring a lunar surface perspective identical to that of the perspective found in Lunar Orbiter shot 2085? The answer is of course that the Eagle never could have accidentally found altitude 51.37 kilometers, latitude 0.80 north and longitude 23.71 east in a gadzillion phony NASA manufactured pretend years.
The Command Module photo over the lunar surface features an image of that lunar surface captured in a photo taken during the month of November 1966.
Everyone may relax now in their states of perpetual anxiety. Apollo has once and for all been proven very very very very very very very FRAUDULENT!
The Apollo photograph exhibits a completely different projection. (Sorry for using that term...I'm a comic book artist, set designer, and 3d wrangler and that's the way we describe these things when we actually put them in words).
Here's an essential clue you are missing, and why your method is fantasy. In the orbiter series, the orbiter camera is pointing more-or-less straight down (it isn't necessary to assume that but it makes it easier to describe). Thus, objects other than directly below the orbiter are further away. Without correction of some kind, the projected distances between landmarks will appear to shrink as you move towards the edges of the picture.
Now, I don't know the flight path, or how these were taken and scanned; whether a film interstage or a progressive scan or what, nor do I know how the lens was designed to correct. But it is very, very clear there that there exists a possibility for measurements to be dependent on where in the field they are taken.
And that is my direct measured experience. If you generate a single number, you are cherry-picking.
And the same goes double when comparing with the Apollo photograph, which is clearly taken at an angle to the ground (in reference to the equivalent image from the orbiter).
I can, merely by being selective, show the Apollo photograph as being either nearly-identical, or strongly different (yes, I could put numbers on these, but they would be arbitrary, arising as they would from working on a computer screen on a manipulated image that was derived through many steps from the original).
