The plot shows the positions of ~1000 simulated Kuiper Belt objects that were within 2 of the big, plus-shaped camera footprints a year ago, and where they would be on the sky tonight.
You can see which ones we wold have caught with the big camera in October, before the crane broke (they are blue instead of black). The ones we hope to get tonight with the smaller footprint camera are also in blue. So we can get most of them, hopefully.
