Re: Planet X: Jan 5th Image

In later analysis, as Open Minded was claiming that an existing star was
the imaged Planet X, I moved the circle slightly to center both these
objects

We then moved to discussion on Open Minded’s claim that an existing star
is Planet X, imaged.

During these discussions I moved the circle to center the objects under
discussion.  The companison to the ORIGINAL red circle image
(jan05cir.gif) vs this moved red circle image (jan05zt1.gif) can be
seen, but to show you an offset I’ve drawn lines from neighboring stars
so the offset can be seen.  This new page, showing the offset, it at:
