   On a related matter, I was expecting to see a few photos at low   
   altitudes (less than a thousand meters).  There was supposed to be a   
   spotlight to facilitate this.  Has anyone seen anything of these?   
   Were they lost?  We seem to go from kilometers high directly to the   
   'pebbles on the mud'. Disappointing.
