    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Configuration error Due to a configuration error, in Sector 63 the Earth Point flags (data quality bit 4) were not set during the download periods from Orbit 133a to 133b and Orbit 134a to 134b. However, there is no data during this time and values in the target pixel files and light curves are set to NULL.
    Spacecraft pointing The pointing in Sector 63 was set at −55.5 degrees in ecliptic latitude. Camera 1 and Camera 4 were both used for guiding in Orbit 133a, 133b, and 134a, while Camera 4 alone was used for guiding in Orbit 134b.
    Scattered light In Sector 63, the Moon introduces strong scattered light signals in Camera 1 at the start of Orbit 133 and end of Orbit 134.
