We request to make an image of the entire "String of Pearls" that is currently being created from comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3. As part of a GO2 program (PID 20039) we imaged a field containing the two fragments (C and B) that were known at the time when the AORs were modified, a month before scheduling. The GO2 observations took place on 2006 Mar 28 (IRAC) and 2006 Apr 1 (MIPS) and worked flawlessly, perfectly framing the two main fragments and the bridge connecting them (which was the primary target of that proposal). In the meantime, 8 other fragments have been discovered and reported to the Minor Planet Center. Our GO2-observed (2006 April 1) field contains 2 other of these "known" fragments, but the remaining 6 "known" fragments lie behind the field we observed.
