Pointing accuracy of the DR21M/IRAS20126 data taken in the 2006 July run __________________________________ - Pointing accuracy of DR21M/IRAS20126 data taken in the July 2006 run : To see the pointing accuracy, data taken only toward the center position were taken into account this time. Larry's 2D Gaussian fit program on IDL was used to derive the pointing offsets here. Note that, since the pointing wasn't adjusted actively during the run most of the time, rms written below is the rms from the average values on each day with the same fazo/fzao offset values. As shown below, pointing seemed to be pretty good and stable while these data were taken, within 3 arcseconds in both cazo/czao axes.

However, because some of the data don't have the peak in the image frame, offsets for those data would be probably incorrect.) * pointing offsets for I20126 (all data included.)
