Ken,
Thanks. That I may try at some point, though I never messed
with index adjustment before.
My immediate plan is to measure small star distances,
2,3,... to 9 degrees, to see where the problem exactly is.
The smallest star distance I measured so far was about 10
degrees and it already has error about -0.9' (as most of the
other star distances)
while the index error is probably -0.3, but definitely not
more than -0.6'. Thus something happens between 0 and 9 degrees.
