Hi Phil
I was outdoors running a disturbed system test as I took the imaging train apart to purge the sensor chamber with Argon gas after the frosting experience. I also took this opportunity to tidy up and re-route some cables and re-orient the camera. When I called into the kitchen for my cup of tea and Easter hot cross bun, I saw your message.
What a great opportunity to test out the re-configured rig. I am pleased to say it all worked, the NEO was exactly where ST4 plotted it from a fresh download from the MPC.
This series was taken when 2023 GG had crossed the Meridian, I hope I’ve got the E-N arrows correct!
