Since posting a message regarding Movie 8153179V1 within the Did anyone find a CLEAR track? thread, this movie seems to have come to the attention of the StarDust@Home team. It has now received an official "in 1st review" comment - the first that I have seen in my list of events. This is ...

I agree. These people are probably making many overhours at the moment and then somehting like this just slips through.

Aerogel is isotropic for sure. It does not matter wether there is a lattice or not (unless the lattice is anisotropic of course, but since it is made out of SiO2 this is not likely). It's refractive index is close to that of air (i.e. n=1.05) which is to be expected since it is made up out of air fo...

I also had a few. This is the one I just had... 10466B

It has already been mentioned in another post (Possible dust not registered after click) but it might be good to have it in this thread as well. When I try to register track it is not added to my events. The link to the specific m...

I had the same with 11123B and also got subtracted one point while it was not a calibration movie. My mistake though was not to click on the track itself but accidentally on a random position.
