970925 report

Combined pointing of 970917-22 shows 7-parameter telescope model OK.


The plot below shows the combined SCUBA pointing data taken between 970917 and 970922. The 6 individual datasets are aligned on the basis of their mean values of daz and del. The rms scatters in daz and del are barely reduced (<0.1") by removing trends, especially of del, with mean leg temperatures, or by changing any or all of the 7 parameters in the telescope model.

This exercise serves to confirm the applicability of the current 7-parameter telescope model.
