Extract

The accurate determination of radio source positions is one of the principal uses of high resolution instruments such as the Molonglo Radio Telescope. A critical stage in this process familiar to all radio astronomers involves the measurement of the instrumental response pattern relative to some accurate time or position marker. Ideally, the analysis procedure should introduce no further errors either random or systematic beyond those which are already present in the data. This is virtually impossible with chart analysis.
