The photography equipment and procedures, and examples of ionospheric and sky surveys performed from the Salyut space station during the visit by the French astronaut Chretien are described. Space-based viewing is unencumbered by skyglow from cities, the appearance of false sources near the terminator line, and interferences from the ionospheric F region. Standard astronomical and photographic equipment were used, including cross-hair sights, filters, objectives, and cassette loaded films. Once an object was sighted and the cameras pointed the entire station was placed into an inertial navigation mode to provide up to 40 sec stability for photography. Samples from studies of the ionospheric D region, the zodiacal cloud, and terrestrial limb are provided.
