From the Apollo 12 Lunar Surface Journal:

132:01:48 Conrad: All right, Houston. The (CCIG) status is...Oops, I'm going to get dust in it. The cover is off, and it's pointed up at the sky at about a 60-degree angle.

132:02:09 Gibson: Roger. Do not touch it right now, Pete. Which way is that pointing, relative to east-west?

132:02:19 Conrad: It is pointed down-Sun (that is, west).

132:02:23 Gibson: Roger. (Pause) Pete, no need to change the configuration; let's press on. (Pause) We copy that you've stopped on the seismic.

132:02:41 Conrad: Yeah. Where's me handy-dandy LMP?

132:02:47 Bean: He's contrast charting.

132:02:49 Conrad: Oh, okay. Meet you at the Head Crater, pal.

132:02:52 Bean: Okay. (Pause)
