Visual observations from Apollo 15 lunar orbits are discussed, complementing photographic and other remotely sensed data. Color tone of surface units, global tectonic trends, and small scale features are considered. Visual observations were made on Tsiolkovsky Crater, swirls in Mare Marginis, Picard Crater region, Proclus Crater, Littrow Crater area, landing site area, flow fronts in Mare Imbrium, and Aristarchus Plateau.
