<ul>
<li>
The Halley centered coordinate (CSE) system used
in these measurements is a right handed coordinate system.
It is defined
so that the coordinate system has its origin at the comet's nucleus, with
the XSE-axis from the nucleus to the sun, the YSE-axis parallel to the
ecliptic plane in the direction of retrograde planetary motion.
The ZSE- axis completes the coordinate system such that at the time of Halley's
passage through the ecliptic plane it points to the ecliptic north.
<li>Azimuthal B angle is counted positive from the X-axis toward the Y-axis.
<li>Elevation B angle is counted from ecliptic plane toward positive Z.
<li>B RMS is a pythagorean meean of the component RMS values
