JCMT Pointing Model - Parameter 2

JCMT Pointing Model - Parameter 2


The amount by which the main azimuth drive is east of the vertical.

As in the case for parameter 1 , with N and W replaced by E and N, respectively, similar calculations in the same spherical triangles give
daz = theta*cos(A)*sin(E') , and del = theta*sin(A)             - both on the sky.
