context
- The signal entering at angles
larger than

from the beam centre direction
produces the so-called straylight contamination, dominated
by the Galactic emission (see e.g. Burigana et al. 2001, 2003),
a systematic effect different from the main beam distortion
effect considered in this work.

- For simplicity, all the convolutions between the beam
and the sky map are centred about the nodes of the
underlying pixelization.
We have verified that this slightly improves the deconvolution
accuracy and has to be then considered as an
"ideal'' best case for our code. This working condition will be
no longer employed in Sects. 3.3 and 3.4 where the P LANCK
data sampling is considered.

- We observe that an analogous approach can be pursued
also in the presence of correlated noise, provided that the noise properties
can be known from laboratory measures and/or directly reconstructed
from the data (Natoli et al. 2002). Of course, in this context, destriping
(or, possibly, map-making, see e.g. Natoli et al. 2001) should be previously
applied both to the data and to the simulated pure noise data.

time
- In the current implementation,
about 19 hours of computation are required to deconvolve a single
patch with 10242 pixels on an 64 bit alpha digital unix machine with
single cpu at 533 MHz and 1 Gb RAM.

noise
- For example, the average sensitivity
on a polar region of about 25 squared degrees
is about 5 times better (i.e.
K on pixel
of 3.43'!) than the average full sky sensitivity:
then, we expect there a deconvolution quality intermediate between
that found here and that found in the previous section.

- On the other hand, we have to keep in mind
that a faithful recovery of the very high multipole tail
of the CMB angular power spectrum requires to catch also with
all the other, possibly coupled, systematics and a very accurate
separation of the astrophysical foregrounds.
