Frequency was incorrect, causing very low short term dither amplitudes due to long dither periods (1 yr). Will correct and re-run. 4) Star acquisition anomaly after second nudge maneuver (225:0226). Lost 2 stars during nudge. Acquisition of 2 new stars failed, possibly due to edit of onboard star catalog. Decided to dump onboard star catalog per CAP 245 then proceed with NPM checkout. 5) Entry to NPM at 225:0335 acquired only 4 of 5 stars. Dumped onboard OBC catalog using CAP 245 as a diagnostic.
