What is special about the camera is that it has an extremely wide 
field of view.  The film is intended for release to planetariums.  
I hope the folks in Rochester, NY keep an eye out for this.  You 
people have the most fantastic planetarium I have ever seen.  But 
given the nature of the city (e.g. R.I.T., Kodak, etc.), that's no 
surprise.
