First Moho capture - wow narrow margins

[Krazy1]

So I just did my very first Moho capture... that's basically it. But let me explain.

The probe has a M700 planet scanner. So I needed capture with AP under 1.25 Mm and PE over 25 km for the scan. But I had just barely enough fuel. I did a 5 minute Terrier burn for about 3500 m/s dV, with PE initially at 10 km ASL. Due to the long burn, PE dropped down to 460m AGL as it passed the south pole. When the burn was done PE was -6454m ASL. The orbit went directly from escaping to sub-orbital. It has an elliptical orbit with World's First only saying I have initiated a fly-by. 

And when I push PE to 25 km it will have 13 m/s left. Thirteen! My new lucky number.
