"The Southwest Research Institute's SWUIS-A digital imaging system, including a sophisticated Xybion camera and associated control equipment, was installed on the instrument panel of a NASA Dryden F/A-18B for a series of astronomy flights to search for tiny vulcanoids (asteroids) that may be circling between the orbit of Mercury and the sun.

For some reason the server software inserts a blank space in "HTML"... Remove that space and it will work. Or try this:

The lens in the photo is a plain vanilla 85mm f/1.4 Nikon lens. OK, it's faster than most of my lenses...
