Eleven photographs were taken of the L sub 4 earth-moon libration region during the Gemini 12 mission. The objective was to investigate the possible existence of clouds or particles of dust orbiting the earth in the L sub 4 region by the use of photographic techniques. No identifiable data were found in the first sequence of five photographs. Star field images could be recognized in two photographs of the second sequence of pictures. A light flare, of unknown source but possibly caused by light refraction from the window of the spacecraft, was recorded in both pictures. A reconstructed star field region (as photographed) is shown Isodensitraces of the two recognizable star fields were made; however, no conclusive results were obtained.
