... This document and the attached postscript figure document an analysis that I did to determine the optimum midpoint and required ranges for both the rotator and azimuth for the 2.5 M telescope. ... I simulate a series of drift scans on the sky for tracks that cover the northern survey area. These tracks cover the range in survey latitude of -60 to +60 degrees, spaced by 10 degrees. ... Along each track the azimuth, elevation, and position angle of the CCD is computed at 1 minute intervals. ...
