Borneo can go, but doesn’t fanfan live in Toronto?

No, I'm in Ottawa. Go ahead and take out Toronto.

Any others we can take care of whilst we have the hardware out?

I'm aiming from 1,227,017,716,320 feet away. I'm trying to hit one target about 2' wide. Originally, we only set this system up to handle maybe a couple of yards worth of variance at distances of a couple hundred miles. Statistically, when tele-porting around the Castle, we wanted to only be off a few millimeters. Any variance we wanted on the "free air" side of a surface to prevent popping into existence in the same space as another solid object.

Now stretch that "fudge factor" out to millions of miles, and being off by half a continent isn't surprising.

I've got a few filters I'm working on to get down to that .0000000000000001 of a degree that should allow me to hit what I'm aiming at.

Collecting the data from the first two shots allows me that control.
