E. THERE WERE NO MAJOR CAMERA OR PROCESSING MALFUNCTIONS.
3. POSITIVE:
A. PI SUITABILITY IS VERY GOOD WITH THE CLOUD FREE PHOTO-
GRAPHY. SOME OF THE POSITION INDICATOR IMAGES WERE UNDETECTABLE
AND THIS CAUSED SOME INCONVENIENCE TO THE PIS.
B. EVIDENTLY, THE POSITIVE WAS MISALIGNED DURING THE PRINTING
PROCEDURE ON PART 4 OF THE 9L SIDE. THIS CAUSED THE TITLING TO BE
CUT OFF ON SEVERAL FRAMES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CAN. THE PROCESS-
ING WAS GOOD.
C. CLOUDS AND HAZE DEGRADE APPROXIMATELY 40 PERCENT OF THE
MISSION.
