[ATM] SALT II

Note this pic as well, BTW.... Interesting some (but not all) stars
are hexagonal shaped, while some (but not all) have their colors
dispersed on different pixels. The SALTICAM seems to have a lot of
defects for $600,000 bucks. Note that black lines, etc all over the
field. It looks like one of our labs' grade 2 discount chips.

Hmmmmm.... wasn't $600,000 bucks enough profit even for a flawless
CCD? Maybe someone sees something I don't?
