Version 3 was issued in a draft form to a reduced audience in January 1994. It was the first version issued as a KSD and also flipped the pointing origin Y axis in the pictures so that most pictures have the conventional sky orientation. It added a section on how to determine rotator user angles from astronomer-supplied position angles.
