Solid Rocket Booster Cameras from the Space Shuttle Atlantis STS-125 HST repair mission

Compilation of views from the Solid Rocket Booster cameras and the NASA Launch video of the Hubble Space Telescope synchronized to the time codes.

You can see countdown, liftoff, clearing the tower, the shuttle passing through the clouds, the shadow of the exhaust plume, booster burn-out and separation, the receding shuttle, the smoke plumes from the boosters which cover the forward cameras with muck, the reflection of the camera in the glass on the intertank cameras, the launch plume in the distance, passing through the cloud deck 150 miles down range, the parachute opening and splash down.
Also notice that the water cleans the gack off the forward camera views. If you look carefully I think you can just about make out a shark attacking the parachute cables...
