The pano opps were limited - the crowds were huge and light was low
(ship came out at about 6:20am - we were there since 1:30am)... but it
was fun!

Well since the script would be authoritative there'd be no need to
compare it - just use the values from the script, since you'd know they
were correct. It's always easier to trust programmatically derived data
than stuff manually entered... especially when it's about technical
properties that can easily be checked programmatically.

No problem, just saw a possible need - next time I'd be more than happy
to help automate the entire process if you're interested. Let me know
how I can help if you need - scripts scale well, your time doesn't :)
