yesss per
another spectacular play & view
but i wonder if you could continue to question the photographer
about it
because i checked the photo against the topo you provided in the
first link in message 8488
& i found karkur ibrahim & karkur idris there ok
far to the west
& several libyan peaks near lysd that could be marchesi
but based on all these data it is hard to imagine how the tripoint
which must lie due north of where the photo was taken from
could possibly fall within the frame
indeed if everything else is correct as stated here & shown there
then i would have expected the tripoint to fall a good half turn or
more beyond the right edge of the photo
so maybe the photographer could help us out by identifying
marchesi peak on the map
or by clarifying the situation in some other way
like maybe he could explain how he identified & got a fix on the
tripoint position
was it just by gps readings
or just by map gazing
or both
or how exactly
otherwise i have my doubts that we have a true class d yet
not that getting so close isnt still fantastic in any case
but i would like more corroboration if possible
