In that data was an analysis of when and where the image was taken of frame 1102:
My first attempt failed, the images didn't match (it was close but not close enough) so I had to do some more research. What I found was this data sheet contains a slight omission of a negative sign for the Lunar Latitude latitude of the spacecraft!
This page details the Spacecraft Position as:
Altitude: 1198.22 km
Latitude: -9.76°
Longitude: 150.37°
So using those values we immediately get good agreement with the data -- from an open source program that is built on the heliocentric model...
I think that's pretty neat -- not only did we find a good match with the image but we found an error in the data because the data given did NOT match.
Sorry, I don't have high-resolution images loaded for my Celestia moon.
