Did the crew in the ascent module control the docking after ascent from the moon or was the command module the active vehicle both for this docking and the transposition docking?

As I recall, the command module was normally the active vehicle -- the CM pilot had a better view, if nothing else. There were various contingency procedures, but I believe it was not possible to dock with a completely uncooperative command module. -- "The average pointer, statistically, |Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology points somewhere in X." -Hugh Redelmeier| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
