This image was taken as the Shuttle passed over Baton Rouge at about 5:30 PM on December 25th, 1999. The camera was an Astrovid 2000 video camera with a x1.8 Barlow. The video output was recorded on a Hi8 mm recorded and later processed offline to get a series of stills where the atmosphere distortion is minimized. In the photo you can clearly see the shuttle in one corner of the frame and the Hubble Space Telescope in the diagonal corner that was just released after a successful series of repairs. 10KB.
