Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Thank you.
03 04 46 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. And you corrected register 1; it's plus 27210.
03 04 46 43
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 04 46 45
Jim Lovell (CDR): And would you like us to make that maneuver at this time?
03 04 47 10
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's down below us, isn't it?
03 04 47 13
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Stand by.
03 04 47 19
Fred Haise (LMP): Can't see it.
03 04 47 26
Jack Swigert (CMP): Can we have some more light in here now?
03 04 47 29
Jim Lovell (CDR): I have a light.
03 04 48 20
Fred Haise (LMP): What do you see out your upper window?
03 04 48 32
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stars.
03 04 48 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. It looks like—looks like the light is coming from around those clouds.
03 04 48 48
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, you won't get AOS/LOS until 77.

Fred Haise (LMP): …

Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.

03 04 49 22
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 04 49 37
Jim Lovell (CDR): Let's see, AOS is at 2 hours before the burn?
03 04 49 45
Fred Haise (LMP): Just about.
03 04 50 01
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.
03 04 50 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 04 50 08
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Jim, we recommend you go ahead and make your VERB 49 maneuver, but just stay there in VERB 49 and don't go ahead to narrow the deadband just yet. And, when you're in that attitude, why, of course, then you can make your star check. And one other item is, I don't think we got back with you, but that hour 15 for powerup sounds fine with us.
03 04 50 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. At this time, I'll start my VERB 49 maneuver, but will not narrow the deadband, and we will take a look at Nunki. Okay, Vance.

Fred Haise (LMP): … how many lights you're going to see. You can coach Jim on that.
03 04 53 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Sure. We're there.
03 04 54 22
Fred Haise (LMP): Nunki?
03 04 54 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes. I can just barely see it. I see Antares much better.
03 04 54 37
Jim Lovell (CDR): Why is the wide deadband on? Stand by. Is—Is Scorpio moving down?
03 04 55 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): What's that cloud I see over there?
03 04 55 23
Unidentified crew member: I don't know. It looks like a Milky Way.

Jim Lovell (CDR): Huh!

Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
03 04 55 55
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Go ahead.
03 04 56 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We have completed our maneuver. We're in our wide deadband, and Nunki is close to the top of my display of the AOT. Right now, Antares seems to be more closer towards the center. However, we are in our wide deadband.
03 04 57 18
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Right; understand. We'll have to make a better check later, I guess.
03 04 57 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): I can't for the life of me figure out what that dark stuff is.
03 04 57 38
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. Did you look at it, Jack?
03 04 57 46
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes. Okay. But I didn't recall what …
