For this mission, you don't need to slow down or stop. Just keep taking image data starting at 548 AU and keep going until you're at 900 AU.

I thought you have to move laterally to get the pixels? "The data are acquired pixel-by-pixel while moving an imaging spacecraft within the image."
You can already do that while slowing down. Might require some image correction though to account for that in the pictures.
