Del Palmer, thank you so much for these notes!

Just checking on the acronyms:
ACS = Advanced Camera for Surveys (the boken one)
WFC = Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (works fine)
SBC = ?
FUV = Far Ultraviolet
SM4 = Hubble Servicing Mission 4, currently planned for September 2008
NICMOS = Near Infrared Camera Multi-Object Spectrograph (works fine)
WFC3 = Wide Field Planetary Camera 3, to be added to Hubble in servicing misson
COS = Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, to be added to Hubble in servicing mission
WFC UDF = ?

You said you recorded it? If you could provide me with the recording I could host it on the Planetary Society site for everybody to listen...

WFC = Wide Field Channel (of ACS - busted)
SBC = Solar Blind Channel ((possibly) the only channel of ACS still working)
UDF = Ultra Deep Field?

EDIT: and you didn't mention: HRC = High-Resolution Channel (also gone)
