XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... The `position angle' used is in actuality an ` astronomical position angle' (see XMM-MOC-TN-0109-OAD and INT-SYS-FD-TN-0004-OAD). This angle is counted from the celestial north in the mathematically positive sense around the axis pointing from the object towards the observer (i.e. anticlockwise from the observer's point of view, looking towards the sky). ...

... The concerns here are similar to those for observing bright targets; saturation and blooming of the bright companion PSF must not impact the faint target. Also, one may need to consider subtracting the PSF of the bright object, and effects which limit the accuracy of that subtraction. If the bright companion will saturate and bloom, it will be necessary to rotate the CCD so that blooming along the CCD columns does not obliterate the faint target. ...
