 Approximate Number of Shutter Moves/CCD Readouts:   2128671
  
NOTES: * The loss of images is mainly due to BDR overwrites, but there are also
         occasional DSN dumps which are lost.
       * It is common to have observing regions which contain more than 64 
         lines, which requires multiple exposures to make a single observing
         region image.  This is why the number of shutter moves is larger
         than the number of images received plus those lost.

NOTES: * The dark current calculations are using full half resolution 2.668 sec
         images not taken in during the SAA.  The dark current rate assumes a
         "fat zero" of 30.5 DN and a gain of 100 e/DN.
       * The entrance filter failure of 13-Nov-92 eliminated the capability of
         taking optical images, so the optical transmission is not available
         after Nov-92.  It also caused an increase in the dark current signal,
         however some of the increase shown here is an increase in the readout
         noise and is not a function of exposure duration.
