Thank you Clare & Peter, I appreciate your comments.
I read through the User Guide of Tycho Tracker and followed a "monkey-see-monkey-do" recipe for Synthetic Tracking, where the SW will inspect the images and identify any potential unknow tracks, by measuring motion vectors across the images.
I knew the JWST was moving at 1.84 " /min at a PA of 300.51 degrees, so I limited the search to these parameters and TT found the trail and tracked the JWST across 15 frames in less than 60 secs of processing time. When I left the search unbounded with maximum sensitivity, the estimated processing time ran out to over 7 hours so limiting the search via motion and PA is very useful.
My head is still spinning with the conceptual framework behind the SW and the talent of the young man who designed and wrote the application.
Cheers
Dennis
