SV: [meteorite-list] The geologist on the moon and Comet SWAN

[Bjorn Sorheim]

Hello MexicoDoug,
I think you should just try loading it again, they are ok for me.
On the other hand this is only a 320mm lens of a traditional SLR-camera,
so don't expect tooo much.
But for people only with binoculars this will show what they can see
at the moment.
Tonight it is raining here, btw.
