    line_1:        ASTROMETRY FOCUS TEST
    line_2:        The Astrometry Science Team wishes to assess the impact of
    line_3:        various focus settings on astrometry. To this end we
    line_4:        propose an Astrometry Focus Test,
    line_5:        This test
    line_6:        should be run four times (at both ends and two locations in
    line_7:        close proximity to the most probable 'best' focus) during
    line_8:        the upcoming mini-sweep.  That focus which produces the
    line_9:        best results from our tests will be deemed the desirable
    line_10:       astrometric focus.
    line_11:       The mini-sweep focus test will be run at positions
    line_12:       -50   -30   -10   0   +10   +30   +50 microns
    line_13:       which will be denoted as runs 1, 2, 3, ...7.
    line_14:       This proposal should be executed at runs 1, 3, 5, and 7
    line_15:       for a total of four times.
