Curt Storlazzi emailed a copy of the JPG image (JD291.JPG) and JPW world file (JD291.JPW) with the bounding coordinates and scale.
Using this information, Clint Steele opened the image in Google Earth.
With the matching colored image in the draft SIM, approximate fixes for the six camera sites (A-F) were read.
Curt reviewed the resulting locations and made the final corrections.

Curt sent a revised copy of the JPG image (survey_shadeddtm_wLETTERS.jpg) containing labeled sites.
Without the bounding coordinates, the image was stretched to best fit in Google Earth.
From this, the coordinates of the center points of site labels were read.
