Hello!

Thanks for your answer but nothing changes!

Using subarray = 0 (=>all):

IMAGR1: IMACPY: Copied   514615 visibilities to be imaged
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: X and Y convolution type = SPHEROIDAL
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: X and Y parms =  3.0000  1.0000
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: convolution function sampled every 1/100 of a cell
IMAGR1: OUVIMG: Sorting data to make them fit
IMAGR1: GR3DUV: All    306 Rows in  1280k AP (  313 Rows Max)
IMAGR1: GR3DUV: Max U Baseline      595399. lambda (=  297 cells)
IMAGR1: Field   1 fit FWHM =    1.516 x    1.323      arcsec, PA=   -9.5

All visibilities, long baselines, but small beam


Using subarray = 1 (A-Array data):

IMAGR1: IMACPY: Copied   298299 visibilities to be imaged
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: X and Y convolution type = SPHEROIDAL
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: X and Y parms =  3.0000  1.0000
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: convolution function sampled every 1/100 of a cell
IMAGR1: OUVIMG: Sorting data to make them fit
IMAGR1: GR3DUV: All    306 Rows in  1280k AP (  313 Rows Max)
IMAGR1: GR3DUV: Max U Baseline      595399. lambda (=  297 cells)
IMAGR1: Field   1 fit FWHM =  561.087 x  454.141 Milliarcsec,PA=   37.9

Using subarray = 2 (B-Array data):

IMAGR1: IMACPY: Copied   216316 visibilities to be imaged
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: X and Y convolution type = SPHEROIDAL
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: X and Y parms =  3.0000  1.0000
IMAGR1: GRDFLT: convolution function sampled every 1/100 of a cell
IMAGR1: OUVIMG: Sorting data to make them fit
IMAGR1: GR3DUV: All    100 Rows in  1280k AP (  313 Rows Max)
IMAGR1: GR3DUV: Max U Baseline      180928. lambda (=   91 cells)
IMAGR1: Field   1 fit FWHM =    1.572 x    1.359      arcsec,PA=  -11.2


You can see that if subarray is set to 0, IMAGR finds all visibilities AND
a maximum (U) baseline length corresponding to the A-Array data, but
restores a B-Array beam.....

What else should I check?


Best regards
Christian
