Thanks, Philippe.? It was six separate frames, joined in LR.? I had shot 
a few pics and talked to the crew about their progress, and, as I walked 
away, I thought about the possibility of a pano. All of the camera 
settings were in Auto.? I seldom blow up the images from the XE-1.? It 
resides in my Volvo.? I didn't think about the known spots until I blew 
it up full screen.

Since they are easily removed in PS, I won't attempt a sensor scrub.
