  Title: HST Solar Arrays photographed by Electronic Still Camera
  Description:
  This view, backdropped against the blackness of space shows one of two
  original Solar Arrays (SA) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The scene 
  was photographed with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC), and downlinked to
  ground controllers soon afterward. Electronic still photography is a
  technology which provides the means for a handheld camera to electronically
  capture and digitize an image with resolution approaching film quality.
