Length and date check out fine. I haven't checked the ALT1 hook as the original seems to be far more interesting, but: 1) it is over the 200-character limit, so it needs to be shortened (in particular, that bit about the document being readable in the photo might be mentioned), and 2) the Time reference says 600mm, but how exactly do we know they were mistaken?
