20090521 Report

RxA pointing model update


Following the adjustment of the central bearing on 19th May, a dedicated pointing run was carried out.

Altogether 20 data points were collected on the 20th May (UT). The weather during the run was stable grade 2 (see here).


Using this new data a full 7-parameter fit with TPOINT was carried out, this gave residuals (dS,dZ) of 2.13", 1.76" respectively.
