At nearly 0.1 m resolution, there's still a great deal of secondary/
recoil UV fluorescence to contend with.

I'm not convinced. Wouldn't Acaba have to be about 12 feet tall for
that to be him?

I would think not. He just has to be highly reflective which, depending on
the optical sensor used, could result in several neighboring pixels to be
bright too.

Are they still having trouble with moving one of the four big solar
arrays? I note in the photo that three are in one orientation, and
number four is at a different angle to the sun.
