Title: Telescopic photograph of Apollo 13 spacecraft in translunar trajectory
Description:
A telescopic photograph showing the Apollo 13 spacecraft in translunar 
trajectory in the distant sky. Arrows point to the spacecraft, to the
oxygen  cloud, and to the expended Saturn V third stage. Apollo 13 was
tracked at the  Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) using a 16-inch
Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope  with an IO televison camera with an S-20 type
IO tube, mounted in place of  the eyepiece. The TV camera information is
stored first on a data disc and  played back on a viewing monitor from
which this photograph was taken.
