Hi,
Not strictly data reduction, but does anyone have a definitive answer for how position angles are measured in miriad?
I am using ellplt to try and identify the position angle of neighbouring sources from a reference source. The comment in the ellplt header is that North = 0, but the answers I get only make sense is if the position angles are measured clockwise from East.

Hi Annie,
Could you please post an example image here (or send it to me by email) and your process so we can investigate this?
