Hi,<br /><br />I am doing astrometry with the VLBA on a nearby, high-proper-motion star. Thanks so much for including the CLCOR option to track the drift of a source in mas/hr! (That's clcorprm(8,9).) I am interested in connecting the position of the star in VLBI to optical data. When CLCOR removes the drift from the data, what time does it use as a reference? i.e., which time during the observation does not have a phase center shift applied to it - the start of any scan in the observation, or the start of the first scan in the selected data (a certain field), or something else? For reference, at the bottom I'm including an example of the clcor command I'm using. Thanks so much for your help!<br /><br />Jackie Villadsen<br /><br />------------------------------------<br /><span class="s1">default clcor</span><br />
