Approximate sketch illustrating the effects of the strong difference between the astrometry precision in AL (reaching sub-mas level) and in AC (several 100 s mas). The approximate uncertainty ellipse (not to be interpreted as a 2D Gaussian distribution) is extremely stretched in the AC direction. The position angle (PA) is the angle between the declination and the AC direction.
