My understanding is that the track will look fairly much in focus in many layers. That is what distinguishes it from a spec. If you were to cut cross sections of the tunnel made by the track, each and every ring should be reasonably well focused as you go down.
One of the things I've been doing is looking for discrepencies between any single artifact and all the surrounding ones. Those, to me don't look any different than the stuff around.
I could be wrong of course, hopefully some direction will be coming on this soon. But I'm just trying to trust my judgement based on their rating system. (under 5% wrong on over 600 callibration movies... and only 5 errors in my last 300ish)

maybe, maybe, and maybe, make that. I'd click the bad focus button for the second image, as the entire image is hardly in focus even at the bottom bar.

I think that the rings we see as we're closing in on the speck aren't the 'track" or impact crater or anything, but just the speck being out of focus. Perhaps the path it takes through the gel is too small to see? We can't have any confidence that real interstellar particles will behave the same way on contact as human-accelerated ones in a lab.

In a VM microscope page paste the linkOrion_0169 wrote:Sasari, I don't see any in any of those. I see what I think you might have chosen, but don't see those as tracks.

This is a calibration movie and the speck in the middle is the track. I have seen calibration movies that look even closer to my findings but I don't remember their IDs.
From everyones findings so far I think this is what we are mainly going to find.
Pasting this type of link does not work due to measures put in place to prevent cheating by giving movies more agreements than they rightfully received.Sasari wrote:In a VM microscope page paste the linkOrion_0169 wrote:Sasari, I don't see any in any of those.

I got the same movie to review and marked it as a track. I've seen two others with the same characteristic a VERY small black speck that comes into focus deeper in the aerogel. I dont know if its a track or embedded dust but it does require review by the Stardust team. I made the second hit on it so you must have been the first. Good Luck
