Embarrassed by the recent focus on the fact that he has apparently been doctoring images on Hale-Bopp posted on the web over a year ago, David Tholen has tried to imply that the discussion was NOT about an image he supplied.

1. David's admission that this is his image, in responding to a friend's congradulations.

"As for the REAL image, its authenticity can be easily verified by a simple comparison against any sky atlas that shows stars to a sufficient limiting magnitude."
3. The fact that Roth and Goodwich have noticed aberations in THOLEN'S image, as well as the fraudulent Shramek image. They are discussing YOUR thumbnail print, David, not Shramek's.

"as only today that Gary Goodwin, who operates a Hale-Bopp information site, alerted us to a possible problem with the contention that the original Tholen image, from which the fake Hale-Bopp image was constructed, might itself be a fake... tampered with... "
