    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Spacecraft pointing Sector 52 consists of observations of the northern ecliptic hemisphere. The pointing was set at +85 degrees in ecliptic latitude so that Camera 2 and Camera 3 straddle the ecliptic pole. Camera 4 alone was used for guiding in both orbit 111 and 112.
    Scattered light The Earth comes very close to the corner of the FOV of Camera 1 in the early part of both orbit 111 and orbit 112: the resulting scattered light saturates the CCD detectors in Camera 1.
