The residuals for the second, longer, part of this tracking experiment are shown above right. They are decidedly not constant through these 3.3 hours, but that they correlate so precisely with each other is quite puzzling.
Analysis is on-going.
The empirical correction lookup table has been rewritten to this new specification. Pointing should be monitored closely over the next couple of days to gauge the efficacy of the new correction. Specifically a transit-tracking experiment such as that described above should be performed with the correction left enabled. The new correction and the old pointing model will not be compatible. Pointing errors may be expected until the pointing model is updated next, although, as usual, the use of local pointing will overcome this effect.
