Table 3: Measured photometry of the selected nebular features. The x and y columns list the coordinates of the selected pixels in the data cube. The angular radius $\theta _i$ of these pixels is counted in arcseconds from RS Pup, and the azimuth is measured from north ($N=0^\circ $, $E=90^\circ $). The coordinates of RS Pup in the image, in pixels from the bottom left, are $x=619.3 \pm 0.2$, $y=628.2 \pm 0.2$. ``Meani'' is the average value, and Ai the amplitude of the adjusted photometric curve, expressed in ADU and $\Delta \phi _i$ is the phase offset with respect to RS Pup, with its associated total error (see text). Ni is the computed integer number of periods between the variation cycle of RS Pup and that of the feature. di is the derived distance to RS Pup. The six selected features for the final distance computation are marked with * in the first column (see Sect. 4.4 for details).
