      {Error of collimation}, the deviation of the line collimation
            of an astronomical instrument from the position it ought
            to have with respect to the axis of motion of the
            instrument.
  
      {Line of collimation}, the axial line of the telescope of an
            astronomical or geodetic instrument, or the line which

            planet, equivalent to the semi-major axis of the orbit.
  
      {Mean error} (Math. Phys.), the average error of a number of
            observations found by taking the mean value of the
