“Shot just after launch, the image shows the faraway scene as viewed through a Takahashi TOA-130 refractor telescope (focal length 2200mm) and a Baader solar prism, which gives the Sun its muted look. Strapped to the back of the telescope, the 5D was set to ISO 50 and a 1/8000 shutter speed, the camera’s extreme low and high settings, respectively.” -Amateur Astronomer Captures Stunning Images of Atlantis

Big props to Blip for setting the whole thing up. So fun.
