The mean amplitude of each trial can be computed and charted vs. both sidereal time and local time.

As of Trial 42, this data set is too small for final conclusions, but should become more discernable as it becomes larger. Trials without multiple recorded turns are omitted. Trials with standard deviations for axis coordinates greater than the fitted value are marked "Reject", as this means rejection criteria for noise. Axis coordinates are assumed independent.

To date, the strongest correlation is for solar time dependence.
