AIPS 1: COSTAR:  Verb to plot a symbol at a coordinate on the TV
AIPS 1: Adverbs     Values                 Comments
AIPS 1: ----------------------------------------------------------------
AIPS 1: STFACTOR     70                    Scale radius = 2 pixels *
AIPS 1:                                    STFACTOR

gives about 20" with a pixel of 0.1" - but according to the formula
above STFACTOR should be 100 to get 20" - I think STFACTOR is divided by 
root(2) somewhere so either the help or code needs to be updated
I can work around it by dividing by/multiplying with root(2).

Anyway
