Hi Lou,

You are absolutely welcome to use the image.  I've been meaning to learn how to do
Wikipedia edits for some time, so I could add APOLLO to the lunar laser ranging page
(and make its own page).  As for credits, I can't claim *all* the credit for this
image (unlike a photo, e.g.).  So probably credit it to the APOLLO collaboration,
and put the APOLLO website as the reference.

We've had truly outstanding runs in the last months, blowing away the graphic
you are going to use.  Go ahead and put the one you want up now as a placeholder,
and I'll provide a more dramatic version later (see attached for flavor).

(In the attached image, the "fiducials" at bottom are returns from the local corner
cube, showing the system response.  The lunar is broadened by the physical shape
of the array, whose theoretical profile--based on the moon's orientation 
at the time--is overplotted in magenta.  Convolving the trapezoid with the fiducial
response should give the lunar response.)
