I built a slide bar using only wood-working tools. Then I wrote
it up to send to photo-3d, but I can't remember if I actually
did send it. If no one remembers seeing it, I'll try to find
it and get it out properly. It works pretty well.

However, what really bothers me is the idea of getting a stereo
picture of a comet using a slide bar. Astronomical objects are 
just too far away. I'm sticking to 2-D for Hale-Bopp.
