Sky offsets are implemented by defining a spherical coordinate system on the sky whose origin is the source position, such that X and Y lie along two orthogonal great circles that cross at the source position. The Y-axis great circle follows the line of increasing elevation, and the X-axis great circle is perpendicular to this.
A way to better understand sky offsets, is to imagine lying on one's back, at the center of the dish of the telescope, with one's feet pointed towards the lowest part of the dish, the top of one's head pointed towards the highest part of the dish, and one's arms stretched out perpendicularly from one's sides, flat against the dish. One's feet would then point at a sky offset of x=0,y=-90 degrees, one's head would be pointed at a sky offset of x=0,y=90, one's right hand would point at a sky offset of x=90,y=0 degrees, one's left hand would be pointed at a sky offset of x=-90,y=0.
Note that sky offsets are applied before azimuth and elevation tracking offsets.
