Thanks for supplying these.  I've seen thumbnail sized copies of them included
in news stories before and did a little digging looking for the full images, but
wasn't successful.  This image kind of confuses me, though:

It shows 2003 EL61 as highly distorted in shape, but shows it as a "planet
candidate", but by their own proposal it wouldn't be concidered a planet if it
had that non-hydrostatic equilibrium shape.
