[meteorite-list] Barringer Meteor Crater panoramas

[Patrick Wiggins]

Apologies for another post on the subject of Meteor Crater but list member Uwe Figge who lives in Germany just emailed me two very nice panoramas of the crater that he assembled from my originals.

They were so nice I immediately asked for Uwe's permission and then added them to my Meteor Crater webpage:

The only bad news is that after 37 years I now know I do not have a complete panorama as I now see that one section is missing (I always thought I had a complete pan).

Maybe one day I will have to go back to the crater and reshoot that one section. :)

Sehr gut Uwe!
