  6. 3pi Surveying i (original) g r 3rd night tracklet 2nd night tracklet 1st night tracklet single lunation TRACK

  7. 3pi Surveying (original) SECOND LUNATION FIRST LUNATION = 12 detections per derived object

  8. Reported Detections >100 NEOs >70KOtherStuff

  9. Reported Detections Heliocentric y (AU) Heliocentric x (AU)

  10. Problems Too few new derived objects No NEOs discovered

  11. physical Camera Fill Factor 80%

  12. overall Camera Fill Factor 70%

  13. False Detections 2-100X HIGH

  14. tracklet Detection Efficiency Vlim≈21.5 (gri) ≈67% efficiency
