Indirectly. I used my 8mm camera to film the live broadcast on the screen on my grandmother's B&W television.

Yes, not of the moon directly, but as a young child I took some pics of the TV screen using my 120 Brownie Cresta. The camera had no adjustments, but the pictures were "usable".....sadly, in 50 years, the negs and prints seem to have gone the same way as the BBC's tapes of the coverage !

I also took pictures of the tv using my Kowa SET. Here's the best of the survivors.

Like millions of others, I watched this, and I also had my camera... why didn't I think to snap a pic of the TV???
