Comments.
For observations type 0, alpha and delta
are given in degees to 6 decimal places.
For type 1, Delta alpha, Delta delta
are given in seconds of arc to 3 decimal
places.
Type 2 are similar to type 1 exept
Delta alpha is in seconds of time.
For type 3 obsrvations the position angle, P,
is in degrees measured eastwards from north.
The separation, S, is in secons of arc.
Both P and S are given to 3 decimal places.
evaluation: Residuals are given for X, Y in seconds of arc.
For absolute and differetial coordinates
and for position angle the residual
is converted to residual in X, Y.
The value 0.0 may be given if the residual
were not computed. Any residual greater than
2.0 seconds of arc is given as 99.9 .
