NASA was determined to refine lunar landing procedures for Apollo 12 because the official landing-location uncertainty of Apollo 11 had dragged on for several weeks after the crew returned and were debriefed.
“Because this official "landing uncertainty" had dragged on for several weeks, well after the crew had returned and been debriefed, NASA was determined to refine the lunar landing procedures for the next Mission, Apollo 12.”

Apollo 12 was targeted to land within walking distance of Surveyor 3, requiring NASA to develop a means for real-time pinpoint navigation.
“since the second landing was being optimistically targeted within walking distance of the two-year-old unmanned Surveyor 3 ... NASA had to come up with a fool-proof means for real-time "pinpoint navigation"”

The NASA mission film Pinpoint for Science was named after Pete Conrad and Alan Bean's successful pinpoint lunar landing during Apollo 12.
“Ergo the name of that official mission film, after Pete Conrad and Alan Bean's incredibly successful "pinpoint" lunar landing.”

Richard C. Hoagland focused on original Oxberry Animation Stand animations that NASA's contract producers had incorporated into Pinpoint for Science, consisting of pans and zooms of stills from the original Apollo 12 Hasselblad shots taken on the Moon by Pete Conrad and Alan Bean.
“He was focusing on original Oxberry Animation Stand (another Hollywood device, used to animate still photographs in movies) animations that NASA's "contract producers" had incorporated in the film—pans and zooms of "stills" from the original Apollo 12 Hasselblad shots taken on the Moon by the Apollo 12 crew, Pete Conrad and Alan Bean.”

Richard C. Hoagland reasoned that if the Pinpoint for Science producers had taken rush hardcopy prints from the original Hasselblad Moon shots and placed them under intense lights on an Oxberry Animation Stand to add pans and zooms, then vital invisible detail in the otherwise pitch black lunar skies over the Apollo 12 landing site might remain detectable by computer, even after several generations of copying onto 16mm release prints.
“Hoagland reasoned that if the *Pinpoint for Lunar Landing* producers had taken rush 8x10 hardcopy prints from the original Hasselblad Moon shots, placed them under the intense lights on a professional Oxberry Animation Stand ... then on those frames of the 16mm release print, even after several generations of copying, some vital, invisible detail in the otherwise pitch black lunar skies over the Apollo 12 landing site might remain—still detectable by the computer.”

The enhanced 16mm frames captured by John Stevens' machine from NASA's Pinpoint for Science print revealed reflective, glass-like ruins over the horizon from the Apollo 12 landing site, and massive inclined buttresses slanting down beyond the lunar horizon.
“The enhanced 16mm frames (captured by John Stevens' machine from NASA's official *Pinpoint for Science* print) unquestionably revealed more "reflective, glass-like ruins" over the horizon from the Apollo 12 landing site, and the *same* massive inclined buttresses, slanting down beyond the lunar horizon in the distance.”

9
Richard C. Hoagland considers the slanted buttresses seen at large scale from the Apollo 12 landing site to be independent confirmation of his ancient lunar dome hypothesis.
“but it was the striking, unmistakable appearance of those slanted buttresses, seen on a much bigger scale from the Apollo 12 landing site, which gave Hoagland independent but vital confirmation for his entire model of the "ancient lunar domes."”

Richard C. Hoagland became more convinced that his lunar dome theory was correct given that Apollo 14 and Apollo 12 had photographed the same crystalline geometry in generally the same location.
“Given that two Apollo missions—14 and now 12—had photographed the same crystalline geometry, and apparently in generally the same location ... Hoagland was more convinced than ever that his lunar dome theory was correct.”

The Apollo 12/Surveyor 3 landing site showed an exact alignment of Orion on the lunar horizon precisely as President John F. Kennedy called for sending a man to the Moon in May 1961, before any spacecraft had actually touched down there.
“With the discovery that this Apollo 12/Surveyor 3 site was, somehow, seen as “sacred” long *before* any spacecraft actually touched down—as gauged by the stunningly exact alignment of Orion on its lunar horizon, precisely as President Kennedy called for “sending a man to the Moon” in May of 1961”

Richard C. Hoagland's research team reconstructed a set of ritual temple locations comprising the Giza Plateau on Earth, the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 lunar landing sites, the Viking 1 Mars landing site, the Mars Pathfinder landing site, and Cydonia.
“After considerable discussion, we agreed on our own “reconstruction” of the following “ritual temple” locations: The Giza Plateau on Earth (for obvious reasons); the Apollo 11 (because it was the location of the first manned landing) and Apollo 12 (because of the landing on Hitler’s birthday and “the Kennedy Connection”) lunar landing sites; Viking 1 (because it was the first NASA landing on the planet Mars); the Pathfinder landing sites (because of the 19.5 x 33º location); and, of course, Cydonia (because of the Face and City Complex).”

At the Apollo 12 landing site, the sky pattern at the moment of Apollo 11 touchdown, approximately 1,370 kilometres due east, showed Orion's Belt on the eastern horizon, which Richard C. Hoagland considers an extremely significant alignment in the ancient Egyptian stellar religion signifying resurrection.
“Fig. 5-8 - Apollo 12 landing site sky pattern at Apollo 11 touchdown, ~850 miles due east. Orion’s belt on the eastern horizon is an extremely significant alignment in the ancient Egyptian stellar religion - unmistakably signifying “resurrection.” But … of *what*? (Hoagland)”

Richard C. Hoagland considers the timing of Kennedy's 1961-05-25 Project Apollo announcement, coinciding with Orion's belt stars rising on the eastern lunar horizon at both the future Surveyor 3 site (landed 1967-04-20, Hitler's birthday) and the future Apollo 12 revisit site (1969-11-19), to be symbolic of resurrection, foreshadowing an unknown outcome.
“The announcement is timed as Orion’s (Osiris’) Belt stars rise precisely on the eastern lunar horizon, both at the future Surveyor 3 landing site (April 20, 1967 - Hitler’s birthday) and the *future* site of Apollo 12’s revisit (November 19, 1969). Disturbingly -- in a Space Agency filled with newly-imported Nazi scientists and engineers, the symbolism is again one of “resurrection.” Foreshadowing... what? (Hoagland)”

At the time of the Apollo 11 landing, NASA had already marked the future Apollo 12 landing site by landing the unmanned Surveyor 3 probe there.
“At the time of the Apollo 11 landing and Aldrin's "Osiris/Isis ceremony" back at Tranquility Base, NASA had already ritually marked the site by landing the unmanned Surveyor 3 probe there.”
Dark Mission 2010-07-22 ch12:32976-33158 observation
23
Richard C. Hoagland interprets the alignment of Orion's belt star Alnilam on the horizon during Buzz Aldrin's ceremony as a re-enactment of the ancient legend of Osiris's resurrection at the hand of his consort Isis, played out simultaneously at Tranquility Base and the Apollo 12 landing site.
“Literally, the ceremony seemed to mark a re-enactment of the ancient legend of Osiris' resurrection at the hand of his consort Isis—with the stars simultaneously playing out the scene at what would become the two most sacred "temples" of Man's first lunar explorations.”

Richard C. Hoagland calculated that the Orion's Belt star Mintaka hovered at 19.5 degrees above Oceanus Procellarum at the time of the Apollo 12 landing.
“Once again, he found a *major* alignment above the landing site: Orion's belt star "Mintaka," hovering right at 19.5° … over Oceanus Procellarum [Fig. 5-11].”

Richard C. Hoagland found that at the moment of Kennedy's 1961-05-25 Apollo announcement, the star Mintaka in Orion's Belt was rising precisely on the eastern horizon of the future Surveyor 3/Apollo 12 landing site.
“with Mintaka, the same star in the belt of Orion which would stand 19.5º over the landing site when Apollo 12 actually made it eight *years* in the future … rising *precisely,* now, dead on the eastern horizon of the *future* Surveyor 3/Apollo 12 landing site [Fig. 5-13].”
