    I am always chosing the stars for this business in
    convenient position.
    Locating two good pairs at the SAME distance is
    of course very hard.

    But I have large statistics, with stars and lunars.
    It is only a small part that I presented.

    I also don't think that the scope is relevant.
    What sort of deficiency in a scope can lead to
    a systematic bias? I suppose, only collimation.
    Collimation I checked, and in general, it can give only very small
    error.
