While using make_jpl_sbobs_query for a separate project, I noticed that there is an elev-min= parameter in the Observation constraints section of the docs which implies a default of 30 if not specified. Limited testing with &elev-min=30 in the query URL and without resulted in different number of objects being returned (and an additional obs_night structure in the summary in the former case) so something is different.
Needs more testing, but there is a possibility unobservable NEOs, possibly in the 0...30 elevation range, may being returned from the ptr_neos/ endpoint and underlying code.
