20080424 report
Tests of the K-mirror model
. . . of 20080331, viz:
(x0 y0 x' y') = (-0.1 -1.2 -0.5 0.9 )
We have again performed RA/Dec jiggle maps of point-like targets sandwiched
bewteen AZ/EL fivepoints, and record the results as
before:

All-sky pointing
Some 'All-sky' pointing data were recorded
with and without the K-mirror model in place:
UT K-mirror model No. CA +- dS IE +- dZ
20080424 NO 10 +15.8 +- 2.1 +32.4 +- 4.1
20080424 YES 28 +16.2 +- 1.7 +34.6 +- 3.8
Both subsets of HARP data seem considerably worse in their elevation performance
when compared with the HARP data taken
in the nights before and after, so the relative performance is perhaps
more meaningful than the absolute rms errors.
Conclusions
Improvement in the azimuth performance perhaps, but not in elevation.
Although - if one were being optimistic - the elevation measures
from the RA/DEC maps are dominated by two exceedingly large negative measures -
and perhaps further data will reveal their deviance.
