Cover Illustration: The Visual Target Tuner (VTT) from the paper by Koratkar and Grosvenor (p. 57 ). The VTT is an interactive field-of-view visualization tool that allows the user to import images from several sources (including the NASA Extraterrestrial Database---NED, HST's Guide Star Catalogs, and the Digitized Sky Survey). Once imported the user can overlay an instrument's field-of-view positioning and orienting the target exposure visually. ... adass@ncsa.uiuc.edu ...
