RE: Ob, ob, ob, oblete? Oblate?

Hello

Yes - I saw those definitions in the dictionary as well. 

Thanks - I agree. As others have written, they must have meant
"oblique."

I am sure now that this is what they meant

Thanks for writing - Don't want to mix in astronomical bodies and
religious vocations with mugshots - Might get kind've confusing!

Thanks for the tip

Barbara
