   "Tranquillity Base" is near the lunar equator at about 23.5° E   
   longitude, so the Earth's altitude from there would be about 66°. I   
   believe the lowest it could have been seen from a lunar landing site was   
   from Apollo 17, at something like 54°.   
      
   The only Apollo photos that I can recall showing Earth were shot from   
   space -- like the famous Apollo 8 "Earthrise" shot -- but I'm sure I've   
   only seen a small fraction of the collection. Does anyone have a link to   
   one showing Earth from the surface?
