Signal-to-Noise ratio of pointing measurement, e.

As described in MTDN109.2 a S/N of >10 at the peak of a FIVEPOINT measure keeps the vector error of the positional determination of the source below 0.1 . We assume that prudent observing techniques will keep this contribution to the error budget at this level.
