First we do a pointing --> set pointing -5.7 -1.1 |

Now we check the focus along the Z-axis direction --> set focus -0.5 --> It seems we are seriously out of focus so we do it again with this new correction |

Check the focus along the X-axis direction --> set focus 0.0 /dir X (best focus correction found using both the flux maximization and the error beam shape) |
