    Ted, I fully agree with you about the importance of the rule.
    
    Instead of making a long e-mail, I have made a page describing a deep 
    technical analysis of recent Nanosail images from Mr Vandebergh. As 
    you suspect, shape and colors are artifacts. I think that the new 
    rule is especially interesting in this "textbook case". I even think 
    that now a few raw images extracted from the video are not 
    sufficient, the full avi file would be very interesting to assess.
    
    The analysis: http://legault.perso.sfr.fr/nanosail_vandebergh_analysis.html
    
    regards
