    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Spacecraft pointing Sector 48 consists of observations of the northern ecliptic hemisphere, with Camera 4 pointed near the north ecliptic pole. Camera 4 alone was used for guiding in both orbits.
    Scattered light At the start of orbit 103, the Earth crosses through Cameras 1, saturating the CCD detectors and/or causing strong glints. At the start of orbit 104, the Earth and then the Moon moves through Camera 1, saturating the detectors and causing strong glints and scattered light signals in Cameras 1 and 2.
