Thanks to you both.

and if they could monitor the particles wouldn't they know where they were?

Thanks, figgie.

But I was hoping to compare a track from an old movie to the same track in the new movie so I could better understand what to look for.

Thanks.

In Phase 1, I remember discussions about where we should see the surface - and if it were below the last quarter of the blue bars, we should consider it bad focus. Does this still apply? Thanks. Also, is it possible to show an old movie next to a new one of the same place so we could get an idea of ...

How about the top 1000 - then I could see my name! lol
