Not sure I ever saw this before, overflowing exclusively on gaussians. The next one wasn't that much different either. And huge estimated computation size too, why I made a note to check them after they're done. |

WU true angle range is : 0.233490 Definitely in the range where the telescope motion was slow enough for Gaussian fitting to be very heavily used, which accounts for the long estimate and the definite possibility of overflowing on those. As with most WUs in that range, although the processing assumes steady motion the actual coordinates indicate something else. For those two (and the other 254 in the same group), almost all of the motion is in the last 6 or 7 seconds. IOW, the scientific value of the processing is somewhat compromised. Joe |
