J65 Residuals was created by dmcdona
Folks - I just received my first set of residuals from the IAU MPC.
The 'residuals' are a statistical analysis of an observatory's minor planet observations. So they give an indication of accuracy/precision for the observatory.
[code:1]
COD Year Tot <1" <2" <3" <4" >=4" R.A. Decl.
J65 2006 365 340 24 1 0 0 -0.02 +/- 0.42 +0.00 +/- 0.33
[/code:1]
Initially, I didn't really have much of a clue what they meant in terms of potential improvements, but to quote a professional astronomer: "Looks like you're already doing better than most professionals".
Needless to say, I'm pleased
