The centre of the imaging area of the CCD is x=1074, y=1024.
Some older data:
July 2006 (pg110089-90)
18 stars, average from two measurements, accuracy
about two pixels.
The drift between the first and third images was
x=+3.2 and y=-2.7 pixels
and standard deviation
of one measurement 0.3 pixels or better.
x = 1088,
y = 996
-----------------
ALFOSC rotation center measured from data taken on the night of 20
January 2004 from 42 stars spread over the field:
x = 1082.31 , Standard dev.: 0.28
y = 995.86 , Standard dev.: 0.24
-----------------
November 2004
x = 1085,
y = 997
