High Precision Calibration Pairs for Northern Lucky Imaging

TL;DR

This paper provides a catalog of 50 high-precision calibration star pairs across the northern sky, enabling improved accuracy in lucky imaging observations by offering well-measured separation and position angle data.

Contribution

It introduces a new set of northern sky calibration pairs with milli-arcsecond and milli-degree accuracy, complementing previous southern sky data.

Findings

50 calibration pairs listed with high positional accuracy

Pairs are evenly distributed across the northern sky

Supports improved calibration in lucky imaging observations

Abstract

Presented here is list of 50 pairs quasi-evenly spaced over the northern sky, and that have Separations and Position Angles accurate at the milli-arcsec, and milli-degree level. These pairs are suggested as calibration pairs for lucky imaging observations. This paper is a follow-up to our previous paper regarding southern sky calibration pairs.
