Let's try it out! Although I don't particularly like nested scripts,
let's bundle fishiter.sh into yet another script, called fishy.sh.

This seems to work OK.
Can I get the other two toimages workfrom usingMLO theto known pointingwork?

Yes, it works, but it's crucial to get the scale accurate to at least 1%.
