| 最近一直研究如何用PAM调极轴,前几天在PAM的辅助下,将极轴精度调到了接近1角分,本来以为可以结束学习了,没想到昨天碰到了新问题: 1. 用PAM测量分析,调整极轴后,再次测量极轴偏离更多了
 2. 怀疑PAM测量的重复性,于是在同一位置反复测量,结果发现每次结果都不同,有时偏差很大,达到了几个角分。在此情况下,根据测量结果调极轴是没有意义的。
 3. 检查了赤道仪和主镜、导星镜、导星ccd、三脚架等各个部件的连接紧固程度,锁紧程度,连接都很紧,没发现问题。
 4. 在多个起始位置反复测量,结果都是如此。
 
 设备如下:zeq25+cf90+60/240导星镜+asi120mc导星ccd
 
 从PAM记录的LOG中抽取连续三次测量的日志如下:

 从日志中可以看出,三次测量的极轴误差分别是:
 (1) Elevation error: -8.57 arc-min,Azimuth error: -10.96 arc-min
 (2) Elevation error: -7.41 arc-min Azimuth error: -3.88 arc-min
 (3) Elevation error: -7.69 arc-min  Azimuth error: -5.18 arc-min
 
 可见结果的重复性很差。
 
 请PAM的高手帮我分析分析这是怎么回事?另外,昨晚风比较大,大概有4级,我是在阳台里测量的,器材本身受风的影响不大,但是视宁度较差,和这个有关系吗?
