Great picture. It should be a composite though, at the time no camera could get the dynamic range between a fully lit white rocket and the dim (comparatively) Moon. Still great.
This image was either edited or was taken during early prepartion of the mission, because just prior the launch of Apollo 17 the moon was about 1.7% full.
