The TPF for this asteroid correctly has predicted position and PRF aperture centered in TPF. However, the asteroid is offset and this offset changes during the observation. The change is perpendicular to the direction of motion and is not caused by the difference in UTC and BJD. Need to investigate why this is happening.
