| The Mark IV lenses suffered from a design flaw, and many broke. Bernie Kluga at the Applied Physics Lab of Johns Hopkins helped to fix the design. These are some of the new lens elements he created. |

| One of Tom's Mark IV cameras took this picture of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 3521 on UT April 13, 2001. This is a small subsection of an entire image. It covers roughly 1.8 degrees East-West by 0.5 degrees North-South. I've rotated the image so that it has North up and East left. The bright star to the right of the galaxy is 62 Leo, a K giant of mag V = 5.9. |
