[APML] [OT] STV Images

[Glenn Graham <glenng@synopsys.com>]

Compared to a dedicated CCD camera of the same price, it does have some
limitations. However, in some uses it has its advantages. While my
primary use is as a guider, I've put it to use as an imager as well.
Have a look at:

The Saturn occultation and 1999KW4 fly-by are examples of where its
unique capabilities are an advantage.
