The Witten genus has famously been lifted to the string orientation of tmf ("topological Witten genus"). For the Ochanine genus, I am aware of a lift to a "spin orientation of Tate K-theory", namely, to a map of ring spectra $M \mathrm{Spin}\to KO[ [q] ]$: lemma 5.4, 5.8 in

At least naively, one would hope to see a further refinement of the Ochanine genus to an orientation of something like $tmf_0(2)$. Is there any reason for why this should not work, or? Or has it just not been considered?

"topological" Ochanine genus?
