    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Spacecraft pointing Sector 41 consists of observations of the northern ecliptic hemisphere. For northern pointings, scattered light from the Earth and Moon is a more persistent issue for Camera 1 and Camera 2 than for southern pointings. For this reason, the spacecraft pointing was set at +85 degrees in ecliptic latitude, so that Camera 2 and Camera 3 straddle the ecliptic pole. Both Cameras 1 and 4 were used for guiding in orbits 89 and 90 of Sector 41.
    Scattered light In Sector 41, there is scattered light present for most of both orbits.
