  6(P) Prediction 18 March

    

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 57 km diameter of Ampella. With no positive chords we cannot say where the actual path was, so the circle has been plotted on the predicted path. Clearly the path has shifted by at least 70 km.

It's a fast mirror in a box with the camera at the prime focus.
The box is on two wheels facilitating transport as well as motion in azimuth.
An adjustable strut serves as the third point of contact with the ground.
