[Lvas] Rob's Image of N-2403

Mon May 4 07:58:42 PDT 2009

Fred,

Thanks for the comment.

If you look at the Observer's Challenge page now, I've completed the

that I reversed the colors of your sketches to make them more closely 
approximate the night sky.  I think it makes your sketches look pretty good.
