Hi Chris,

        It's excellent that you have done this but I have some problems with
the results of your fits.

        The first set had offsets of 2.6 and 2.8 cm !!! in the vertical. If
these were mm I could maybe go along with them but there is no way
this can in cm. Similarly the X offsets were .5 and .26 cm which are
also much too large to be physically compatible with the surveys.
The angle offsets are fine. The second analysis is a bit better in X
and Y offsets but still too large.

        When doing such fits you need to weight the contributions from the
spacial offsets and angular offsets. What weights do you use? I
think a tolerance or uncertainty in spacial offsets of 0.1 or 0.2 cm
would be fine ie. a change of 0.1 cm is one STD. For angular offsets
I think 1 STD corresponds to about 0.5 degrees.

        What do others think?

        Maybe you can search just over the angular offsets and see what
improvements arise.

                                                                         
                       Cheers,
