Hi Al,

Yes, I noticed the blur also, but could not pin it down.  The prop is 
oversize, and was turning. It is also somewhat unbalanced, so there could 
have been some vibration imparted to the nose of the plane as well.

Thanks for looking. I haven't had much luck through window glass, so I was 
surprised to get a useful image.
