  Title: STS-56 ESC Earth observation of Lansing, Michigan at night
  Description:
  STS-56 electronic still camera (ESC) Earth observation image shows Lansing, 
  Michigan at night as photographed during orbit 33 from Discovery, Orbiter 
  Vehicle (OV) 103.  The image was recorded with an image intensifier on the 
  Hand-held, Earth-oriented, Real-time, Cooperative, User-friendly, 
  Location-targeting and Environmental System (HERCULES).  HERCULES is a
  device  that makes it simple for shuttle crewmembers to take pictures of
  Earth as  they merely point a modified 35mm camera and shoot any
  interesting feature,  whose latitude and longitude are automatically
  determined in real-time.   Center coordinates of this frame are 42.7
  degrees north latitude and 84.5  degrees west longitude.  The image was
  acquired at 1/60-second shutter speed  and -2/3 exposure compensation.
