It has been reported elsewhere that the numbers reported by Gemini Control Centre (GCC) are in arc seconds.
So based on my results , my polar misalignment in arc minutes are:
Azmuth: 333 / 60 = 5.55 arc minutes
Elevation: -682 / 60 = 11.3 arc minutes
This means that I am about 12.6 arc minutes from the south celestial pole.
I am not sure what an acceptable result in polar misalignment is but given that I see field rotation in images - I guess it needs to be better than this. It has been reported that a misalignment of; A: <3 arc minutes & E: < 3 arc minutes is needed...
(or about 4 arc minutes from the south celestial pole.)
Does anyone have any figures for an acceptable polar misalignment?
(Can you achieve 0 arc minutes?)
