NTT Pointing Model Evolution
The pointing model of the NTT is performed by fitting the pointing error of ~60 stars over the whole visible sky using the VLT implementation of TPOINT. The resulting pointing accuracy is typically better than 1". Fig. 1 shows the evolution of the model, and Fig. 2 a typical residual plot.
