C: Yes. John, right now - - the same time. here. When the sun came up, I put my visor down, but nonetheless my eyes have started watering and it feels like it's _l-_st some compound - some ele- ment inside the helmet with me. I'd sort of be inclined to suspect maybe it's our anti-frost stuff. But at any rate, m_ eyes are watering extremely, to the point where it is difficult to see, and I can't change the setting on the MSC-8 camera. I took a couple of pictures of the plate at f:8 and, instead of going to f:16 and f:11 and taWtng a couple more, I 'm going to Junk that right now and get rid of the plate. I don't think it's getting any worse, but it is quite a hindrance to m_ vision and I think that what I'd better do is take some general S-5, S-6 pictures and call it a day. John has the cam- era inside now. He's changing the settings and he can see it clearly; so there's no problem there. Over. old - I'11 heave this S-13 packet. Okay?
