A8 SOL · DETECTOR-SPACE ORIENTATION EVIDENCE SEP 18 2026 · EPOCH-7 A8 STAMP 2026 · WEST 6–8 · MERCURY · WATER STATUS QUALIFIED DETECTOR-SPACE SOL TRACK WITNESS PURPOSE Preserve additional physical Sol data for building the A8 orientation relationship from repeated Nature observations. This evidence does NOT declare a finished Year Angle. It does NOT retune Core20 or any physical carrier. It records what the telescope/detector actually saw.

Cloud-obscured / poor-limb frames are rejected from the primary fit rather than averaged into the orientation result. PRIMARY ORIENTATION FIT source · first recording accepted interval · 8.0 .. 104.0 s accepted limb frames · 193 accepted limb-edge points · 15,440 detector X motion · +23.8610 px/s detector Y motion · +1.0950 px/s screen convention · +Y is downward track speed · 23.8861 px/s track angle · +2.6274 degrees screen-down from screen-right fitted solar radius · 1527.5831 px limb-fit residual median · 1.1137 px 90th percentile · 2.8964 px INDEPENDENT WINDOWS 8–32 s · +2.5390 degrees 32–56 s · +3.0881 degrees 56–80 s · +2.5207 degrees 80–104 s · +2.0410 degrees The repeated windows support a detector-space solar drift direction near +2.6 degrees. The spread is preserved rather than hidden. SECOND RECORDING The second recording contains another Sol limb passage but is substantially more cloud-limited. It is retained as SUPPORTING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE. Its less-stable vertical component is not used to retune the primary fit.

This result is DETECTOR-SPACE ORIENTATION EVIDENCE. It is not yet: - a finished A8 Year Angle - a Meridian-0 declaration - permission to retune Core20 - permission to alter the physical carrier rate Future Sol / Mintaka observations can be compared against this detector-space witness to refine the orientation relationship. NO UTC / HOST / BROWSER TIME IS USED AS A8 AUTHORITY.
