    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Configuration error Due to a configuration error, in Sector 64 the Earth Point flags (data quality bit 4) were not set during the download periods from Orbit 135a to 135b and Orbit 136a to 136b. However, there is no data during this time and values in the target pixel files and light curves are set to NULL. A configuration change on the spacecraft at UTC 2023-04-20-06:05:04 required the instrument to pass over one FFI, one 2-minute cadence, and one 20-second. There is no data at this time—the missing cadence numbers are 789392 (FFI), 1315656 (2-minute), and 7893937 (20-second). The spacecraft dropped into coarse pointing during this configuration change, and settles into fine pointing over the next 40 seconds.
    Spacecraft pointing The pointing in Sector 64 was set at −55.5 degrees in ecliptic latitude. Camera 1 and Camera 4 were both used for guiding in Orbit 135a, 135b, and 136a, while Camera 4 alone was used for guiding in Orbit 136b.
