Looks better than what I imagined.

		I offer:

	Just remember that the camera he built had only ONE tube in it; the  
iconoscope.  Original iconoscope cameras used tubes in ALL of the  
amplifiers and were much more finicky.  This modern iconoscope camera  
is capable of making better pictures than what the original cameras  
could.  However, what it does show is how good a picture one can get  
from an iconoscope.
