Just uploaded another sector to the panorama page.

Maybe a bit of a waste of time getting another 1/2 GB of .fits
files where they're all up by earthshine.

Turned out sect 12 is across the S celestial pole and either the
earth or moon is in the shot on the date I picked to
grab all camera images for an ultra-wide TESS shot.
Error bits set in all files for the selected date/time.

But nothing goes to waste. It shows even the most messed-up shots
can go up on the STSCI website.
All the more puzzling with a lot are not available to see even though
they turn up in light curve time series or are mysteriously blacked
out even 10-20 frames in sequence with nary an error bit in the
lot and all indications from the parameters in the .fits files all
the electronics and optics was working fine and the checksum shows at
one time it wasn't all 0 in the image array.
