Movie coordinates located closer to the middle of this long track, should be bottom left corner for lowest point.

thanks,

Both reported as bad PMs. Thanks!

Why do you say that? It seems to "jump" a little and come into focus only at the very end of the available focus bars, but we've seen those before. What I can't understand is why it's only worth 6 points, so I'm bringing it up at a meeting tomorrow.

Dan
I've meant "impossible" because of the different movements in direction and spread of both the surface features and the track appearance when riding the focus bars. Generally speaking, by making real movies, that focus movement/image change of the aerogel features and a respective track in it get then the same "optical rhythm" especially by HATs, don't they?

As they appear in this movie for example.

But that really would be a cheeky one, and I'd still like to know what that little out-rider parallel to my-so-called 'H-type' could be in both movies which you consider to be the entry region. Can Dan enlighten?

John
I'll ask! Though your "out-rider" may just be an artifact of cut and paste for PM purposes.

Dan
I talked to Dr. Westphal today John and he has no idea what that little "out-rider" is. His guess is just a surface feature. Notice that, although it does change when you focus down, it seems to change all at once vs. a more gradual "moving" change that we see in most tracks.

Dan
John and Dan, did just a little search for the original movie 6721021V1 It's from this (older) list of real tracks we found during the earlier Phases, where you could find many of the original used for PMs in Phase 4, I guess.

It is a surface feature that got copied too.

This Power movie track has been pasted so high up in the air that it is out of focus at top focus. (bottom right quarter)

Thanks Dan, greuti and fjgiie for all that feedback, and (partly down to you all) for how the scientific team now seem to be paying more attention to the @Home half of their project as their hi-tech objectives that were always my reason for participation.

I see the difference in behavior, but I'm not sure why. Let me see if someone else know what's up. But I'm guessing even the "experts" won't know for sure (given the thousands upon thousands of scans that have been done). Nevertheless...

Whatever's going on, it's only worth 6 points, which makes no sense to me. Thanks for the report!

Only worth 10 points, but as far as I can tell, basically invisible. Not even sure what I think is the track is a track!

Thanks,

We've bumped it up to 50! Please let me know if you notice the difference.

Well yes I will, but never suggested that a radius tolerance greater than 30 pixels would be a good idea, since that would seem to devalue careful observation.
In particular, it doesn't address the issue of taking into account the huge range between tiny circumscribed test tracks (of high value) and the larger and longer (of low value), which as discussed elsewhere often have ambiguous entry and lowest focus points.

My intended point was that for such latter cases there could well be a similarly-limited (e.g. 30 px) tolerance, but extended in alignment along such a track's trajectory.
Ok, I realise this would be time-consuming and complicated for the team to implement, and quite possibly more effort than it would be worth.

So, in the end, will be happy to go along with whatever is decided.

Warning?
601003V1 value = 2, official coordinates 244/85.
Fooled into thinking it part of the obvious surface artefact!

Er?
8671580V1 value = 34.
Can only see vague features co-focussing with rest of surface dust at official coordinates 482/209 (even under high magnification), so was scored wrong having clicked on the possible double-dot & tail feature at ~ 450/120.

Neither movie number brought up as previously-reported by forum search facility.

X=500, ha ha off the screen

Should we continue reporting these?

Yes, probably would have taken a team of highly capable minds to have it do that. And we agree that there could be some issues with the alternative of increasing the pixel radius, but after some analysis, the benefits seemed to far outweigh the risks. Still, let us know your experience with the 50.

Thanks!
