Green circles indicate positive detections, red circles negative detections, grey circles overcast conditions, and orange circles technical failures. The green lines show the maximum and minimum shadow diameter limits of Ixion’s NIMA prediction, the red line the prediction centre, and the grey band the 1σ uncertainty.
