Hi Randall,
Are you shooting mostly the sun? If so, maybe the constrained set of sun-locations on the sky is translating an instrumental systematic error into a bias in the estimates. If you have some star shots, try selecting a subset of those that are distributed as uniformly as possible in azimuth.On average, how much of a bias are you seeing? Do you have a scatterplot of the disparities between the celestial LOPs and GPS?
Peter
