Notes. 

(a)

The orientation of true north is relative to the vertical of the detector, and is positive when lying to the east of the vertical.

(b)

The NACO rotator offset position was calibrated and linked to the ESO keyword ADA.PUPILPOS according to the formulae ROTOFF = 179.44 − ADA.PUPILPOS, using various astrometric binaries observed at various epochs between November and December 2010. A conservative error of 0.10 deg was considered for this calibration.
