Ah. Of course. I was forgetting about the "astropix" URL. My script
starts from the date URL, because the "connect" script I use gets
today's picture with that. (I think I changed it a few years ago when
"astropix" stopped working for a while.) But "astropix" implies today's
date (today's date minus five hours for me), so my "previous picture"
effort's easily adapted.
