Without some agreed grid reference, it's a bit of a waste of time. For
example, one poster says:
"in PSP_005470_1035_RGB.NOMAP.browse.jpg at pixels 133x4544 there is
something weird looking."

But I can't see anything at those pixel coordinates on that image that
looks vaguely interesting, which suggests I'm not looking at the same
thing that the poster is looking at.
