Is this the original photo of AT-CH-IT that was lost?
And it looks as if the AT-IT border take a slight turn
to the left before hitting the tp. If the tp is the
dot, then it is 1 cm or so to the left of where the
straight line AT-IT would hit CH. But it is a black
and white image and hard to tell, though it does seem
older (and thus less weathered) than the newer color
photos we have seen.
