I think I've clicked on that low angle track before, but I am unable to confirm since the MyEvents page has been unavailable. Either that or I saw it somewhere in the forum as it looks familiar.
This one had me going this morning. I see a definate track below the surface but there was nothing to see at the end so I labled it Bad Focus but something made this track.
While partially obscured by crud, I can convince myself of a subsurface 2 inch linear feature here; the ends are indicated by the arrows (from movie 142290V1, bottom right quadrant):
It appears to contain 5 dust particles towards the lower end coming into focus over the last few bars, but would seem to be very shallow for a LAT.
Opinions?
Difficult, I think it looks (more than a little) like a track. But it's even more difficult to determine the part where the particle entered into the aerogel. There are too many contaminations around here and also it seems the surface is not even.
Maybe one of the very shallow tracks that Bryan mentioned here.
Hi John.
I think it's an excellent possible LAT. Though very shallow, there's no reason it can't be. Theoretically, low angle tracks can be at any angle and disposition, however unlikely. This one is certainly intrigueing and gets my vote for a possible IDP. These are just the kind of images and speculations that continue to make this project exciting for me. I think I've also noticed that VM's with coparatively low I.D. no's. such as this one, are more likely to contain something interesting and may have already been eyeballed as possible candidates by the Home team. Or am I imagining things?

I'm surprised too, and find it a bit worrying: how obvious does such a high-angle track have to be before people notice and log it?
Unless of course they've decided to only consider low-angle interstellar 'carrot' tracks.
My understanding is that the team want us to log all possible tracks, including the high-angle ones, whether they be interplanetary or perhaps from micrometeorite collision spray. Only when they eventually get to analyse them them can they know what's what. Am I wrong?
Greuti will probably know if this particular one has already been registered at lo-res.
PS. to anyone reading this who hasn't yet realised, the team recently deemed that what dusters had been calling 'high-angle' tracks are now 'low-angle', and vice versa. As if things weren't confusing enough already!
So (Mods!!!) isn't it time this 'Low angle' topic be renamed (with appropriate pre-LAT>HAT entries edited accordingly) or replaced?
