The IRCAM/TUFTI display currently shows (approximately) North to the right and
East up; the
array rows are slightly offset from true North-South as shown in the above
table. The sense of the angle given in the table is: the array rows would have to
be rotated about 1 degree anticlockwise, or to the East, to align them exactly North-South.
With a full array readout the field of
view is 20.8 arcseconds, a subarray with FOV of 10.4 arcseconds is also
available for very short exposures, see
Data Modes .
