The MeerKAT correlator does not innately support on-the-fly mapping, i.e. continous adjustments of the delay tracking centre while the antennas slew. However, it has been shown to be possible to correlate scanning observations after the fact to enable interferometric imaging. We briefly summarise the efforts in this direction below.

This report describes the prototype data pipeline used to apply a phase rotation to each integration. The resulting test image shows excellent image quality with no visible trace of imaging artefacts and rms noise close to the expected level of ~0.33 mJy/bm (see figure Figure 4 of attached report).
