Figure caption: The PA for the 2017 Sgr A* data recovered using dynamic imaging and geometric modeling techniques under different assumptions. StarWarps imaging results were obtained using a spatial prior image set to either a uniform ring convolved with a circular Gaussian kernel with FWHM of 20 or 25 μas (see Figure 7) or a uniform disk blurred with a kernel with FWHM of 15 μas. Descattered modeling results were obtained from geometric models with increasing complexity (m-ring 2 vs. m-ring 3) and different fitting software packages (DPI vs. Comrade). All results were obtained from low-band data on April 6 and 7 that have been descattered with a J18model1 refractive noise floor. The gray band at roughly 2.6 GMST indicates the region where the LMT has dropped out and data coverage is poor.
