Re: Planet X Animated GIF

While the Neat NEAT Trick operators were "taking vacation" or otherwise
not heard from, immediately after the Jan 19th announcment, and then the
NEAT images were either unavailable to be downloaded or had serious
errors in them so they could not be displayed ...

The OBVIOUS source of comparison was being overlooked!  Open Minded's
Jan 5th infrared image, compared to Pierre's Jan 19th infrared image, of
which we have the ORIGINAL .FITS from the CCD camera. On Jan 5th, the
object identified by the Zetas is NOT at the Jan 19th location, and on
Jan 19th, the object identified by Pierre is NOT at the Jan 5th
location.

This demonstrates that the NEAT images, if they show otherwise, have
been doctored!
