Currently the mean blind pointing accuracy of the antennas is ~0.6 arcmin, with a few outliers. Referenced pointing has not yet been implemented as a standard procedure. If your field has relatively bright sources near or past the half-power point, you will likely need to apply direction dependent calibration procedures.

If looking at older data, please bear in mind that some antennas were found retrospectively to have unstable or steadily deteriorating pointing. Antenna pointing errors will manifest as amplitude errors, and need to be addressed using direction-dependent calibration. Severe antenna pointing errors (~0.5 degrees or more) will manifest as a steep slope in the bandpass solutions, lower gain and a higher than normal delay. These antennas will need to be flagged.
