(of course the data probably won't be worth much since it won't focus at -only- 200 miles & the target is REAL bright compared to most of what it was designed to look at) -- Jim Sims Space Telescope Science Institute Baltimore, MD UUCP: {arizona,decvax,hao,ihnp4}!noao!stsci!sims ARPA: sims@stsci.edu SPAM: SCIVAX::SIMS
