+Shortly after midnight, I viewed the first picture taken by the SCOPE EM and
+downloaded through the RUDAK EM! Unfortunately, it's a horrible picture. I
+then moved things around and got a much more interesting picture about 1am.
+<p>
+The first picture is of my basement wall, about 3 feet in front of the lens.
+The picture is very dark, because it's a concrete wall with tar on it that
+was once an exterior surface. The speckling is dirt and sawdust clinging to
+the wall. The only "interesting" feature is the vertical stripe near the
+right, which is a piece of metal electrical conduit that will someday bring
+power to one of the outlets on the wall.
+<p>
+The second picture is of me, Bdale N3EUA, about 3 feet from the lens, with
+the background showing the telecom rack and server table holding the server
+this web page is on in the background wrapped in plastic to keep the dust
+from the construction away, and to the left is the east wall window out of
+my new basement workshop.
+<p>
+The pictures come out of the camera as "quick pictures" in BMP format but
+byte-swapped. I used 'dd conv=swap' to swap the bytes, then used 'xv' to
+tweak them. The picture of the wall is heavily gamma-corrected since it
+started out nearly black, the picture of me was rotated and reversed to
+correct for my having the SCOPE EM "not right side up" when I took the
+picture... but it is otherwise untouched. These were taken with a 1000ms
+exposure time in a fairly dark room.
+<p>
+Perhaps tomorrow I'll try retrieving a full-resolution, full-color image...
