    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Spacecraft pointing Sector 53 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 113 and 114.
    Scattered light In Sector 53, the Earth and Moon introduce scattered light signals throughout both orbits, with a strong scattered light signature in Camera 1 at the midpoint of both orbits.
