    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Spacecraft pointing The pointing in Sector 55 was set at +54 degrees in ecliptic latitude so that Camera 4 was pointed at the North Ecliptic Pole. Camera 4 alone was used for guiding in both orbit 117 and 118.
    Scattered light In Sector 55, the Earth and Moon introduce scattered light signals throughout the observations, with the strongest signals in the second half of both orbits. The Moon crosses through Camera 1 in the first orbit.
