Dear everyone,

I had another look at the collimation offsets for the individual receivers and propose the following updates based on single-dish pointing data collected between August 2026 and now:

################## proposed_ptanal-2026-10-19.parm ##################
HN,SX    ,AZCOLIMATION,+01.36 # from Current:           AZ:+01.88 EL:+12.76
LA,20cm  ,AZCOLIMATION,-01.21 # from Current:           AZ:-01.62 EL:-07.90

NL,2cm   ,AZCOLIMATION,+01.03 # from Current:           AZ:+01.26 EL:-00.80
PT,SX    ,ELCOLIMATION,-00.85 # from Current:           AZ:-05.49 EL:-01.31

(No collimation offsets suggested for SC as we want to update the poiting model parameters first.)

Best wishes,
Kirill
