<p>Here is a similar plot to that which I posted before - it shows the position of B (which is nearly a point source) as a function of time. This is in the full self-calibrated dataset (A+B) before I subtract the clean components corresponding to the brighter image (A). The variation is pretty symmetrical which is what worries me. The smaller locus of points is the position of B (using modelfit in difmap) in the B-only dataset after it has been self-cal'd. B now wanders much less and the line points towards the weak jet in this image so I think this is pulling the fit in some systematic way. Anyway, it can be seen what the self-cal is having to overcome to make a decent image in B.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the previous plots for the VLBA data showed B shifting mainly in R.A. and in the opposite direction. I've no idea if that's significant.</p>
