Did you even read what I said? There I am in the Apollo capsule, with the lights on, trying to look through a porthole that is reflecting the light. Am I going to see stars? Or there I am on the lunar surface in the glare of sunlight off the regolith, incapable of getting dark adapted. Am I going to see stars? A camera won't, which is why they were not photographed that way.
Different astronauts had different circumstances and different dark adaptation thresholds. I can go outside my house at night on a clear sky and not see many stars, due to the light pollution from my downtown area. I know they are there, but my eyes are getting old.
