But they did have a wide-angle lens. Aim that in the right direction and point and you'll get the image all right.

To be honest, you have to be exceptionally clumsy to miss with a lens that has a 45-degree field of view.

The most famous moon shot of the lot nearly cuts the top of Aldrin's head off...

Understandable. It's easier to get the horizontal component of the aim right than the vertical.
