The fid light in slot 2 was lost during obsid 597. There appeared to be a cosmic ray event at ~ 98585869.20 and a subsequent shift in row and column. This obsid is interesting because the fid wasn't dropped until much later in the observation. Time slices around the ray event and the drop are presented below.
