21 pointing scans used, starting from current EMIR pointing model with zero Nasmyth offsets. The rms is reduced from 7.5" to 2.0" by following new Nasmyth offsets:
|| P10 || P11 ||
|| +27.42" || -6.39"||

Implemented since January 27th, scan 184 (JP).

==== 2015 October 29/30th: ====

44 sources used for the model, rms is reduced from 3.29" to 1.48" by following corrections of parameters (azimuth/elevation offset, horizontal/vertical Nasmyth correction):
|| P2 || P7 || P10 || P11 || ||
|| +7.19" || -7.24" || -11.00" || +2.35"||+-0.85" ||

Implemented since November 4th, scan 118 (JP).
