+<h2>
+ First-Ever 800x600 Images via RUDAK
+</h2>
+
+These pictures were taken on Sunday, 14 March 1999, in Orlando at the Phase-3D
+lab. There was a mirror propped up on top of the satellite over the camera
+lenses to give us a view of something other than the ceiling. The exposure
+times were 4 seconds, and these were taken with SCOPE B.
+<p>
+The people in picture 4 are Chuck Green N0ADI on the left, and John Conner
+WD0FHG on the right. Picture 5 has Bdale Garbee N3EUA on the left, and John
+Conner WD0FHG on the right.
+<p>
+The funny angle and I think some of the visual artifacts are due to the cheap
+mirror we used to take horizontal pictures with the cameras facing straight
+up, and to the large number of reflecting surfaces nearby.
+<p>
+First, the BMP "Quick Pics". These are just as downloaded from RUDAK:
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="spic0004.bmp"> spic0004.bmp </a>
+<li> <a href="spic0005.bmp"> spic0005.bmp </a>
+</ul>
+
+Here are the raw data files from the image buffers for each:
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="rpic0004"> rpic0004 </a>
+<li> <a href="gpic0004"> gpic0004 </a>
+<li> <a href="bpic0004"> bpic0004 </a>
+<p>
+<li> <a href="rpic0005"> rpic0005 </a>
+<li> <a href="gpic0005"> gpic0005 </a>
+<li> <a href="bpic0005"> bpic0005 </a>
+</ul>
+
+Each of the raw files was passed through the netpbm tool rawtopgm, which
+generated a portable graymap. This file differs from the raw file only by
+the inclusion of a header, so I won't bother with those files here. The three
+graymaps were combined to a color image using the netpbm tool rgb3toppm, which
+produced a .ppm file for each picture:
+
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="spic0004.ppm"> spic0004.ppm </a>
+<li> <a href="spic0005.ppm"> spic0005.ppm </a>
+</ul>
+
+These files were loaded into the GIMP, rotated or flipped (I don't recall
+which), and then written out as jpeg files with 100% quality:
+
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="spic0004.jpg"> spic0004.jpg </a>
+<li> <a href="spic0005.jpg"> spic0005.jpg </a>
+</ul>

+<h2>
+ Exposure Comparisons
+</h2>
+These pictures show the behaviour of SCOPE A. All were taken with the same
+lighing in the cleanroom, and are pictures of the ceiling. The flourescent
+lights were on, so the room was fairly bright. The lighting was essentially
+the same as for the pictures taken above. They seem dark to me.
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="spic0002.bmp"> 4 seconds, SCOPE A </a>
+<li> <a href="spic0003.bmp"> 8 seconds, SCOPE A </a>
+</ul>
+
+This set was taken on Sunday early afternoon with SCOPE A. They are mostly
+black. I <em>think</em> this was a 4-second exposure of the ceiling.
+<p>
+We switched over to SCOPE B
+after this so that we could focus on getting full-resolution picutres out of
+the camera, and did not get time to take another full-res picture with SCOPE
+A.
+<p>
+I include these files mostly in the hope that they might provide some
+information, not because I'm convicned that they mean anything.
+
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="spic0001.bmp"> spic0001.bmp </a>
+<p>
+<li> <a href="rpic0001"> rpic0001 </a>
+<li> <a href="gpic0001"> gpic0001 </a>
+<li> <a href="bpic0001"> bpic0001 </a>
+</ul>
