I would add it also uses an ancient analog TV for manual sighting in combination with the GUI for semi-auto centroiding. I always thought that was funny to see, but it seems to work well enough. Also, inserting that baffle is somewhat terrifying because it slots into a hole next to the main vacuum window and if you dropped it on the membrane, bad things would happen. Always fun to bump into Polies here :)
