    The six Apollo landings all brought TV cameras with them. Their signals were sent to Earth from the LM's dish, and were recorded once they got to the Earth receiving stations. Video cameras of the modern type did not exist in 1969 - 1972.

    well, ..., of course there are! Remember the Apollo era coincided with the golden age of television. There were live broadcasts from the moon. Here's just one example: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apoll...

    None to my knowledge; I think they’d be more preoccupied with being on the surface of the moon and the images of the landscape, than looking at the Earth overhead... although, I have seen stills for it.

    Still images are best for something that rotates at half the speed of an hour hand

    Yes. But they forgot to bring it back. It was left on the Moon beside a pile of garbage.
