The waviness presumably from your tracking being not as stable as you think, per the slightly blobby star images. \Brian -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
