One more, this one is a much larger exponent. The factor 17304916353938823097 of M111409 is found with sigma=8866098559252914, in stage 2 with B1 = 4861 B2 = 343351. I didn't bother finding the critical limit for finding the factor in stage 1 as it would have taken a considerable amount of

Brian FYI I have directly computed the group order #E for each of your factors/sigmas below based on the Richard Crandall EC parameterization in Prime95. They are: M1123: #E = 777288435636813540 = 2^2*3*5*11*31*1823*38917*535489 M1621: #E = 649412561966194102824 =
