  "textContent": "The present disclosure relates to a surveying instrument and to a method of operating a surveying instrument for tracking of a target including a plurality of light emitting elements and/or a plurality of light reflecting elements configured to emit and/or reflect light radially. The surveying instrument includes a tracking unit configured to adjust a sighting axis of said surveying instrument towards said target by maintaining a predetermined distribution of signal levels on a light sensitive detector. The method comprises obtaining an error function representative of a misalignment of said sighting axis with respect to a reference point in the target as a function of an orientation of the target relative to said surveying instrument, receiving information indicative of an orientation of said target relative to said surveying instrument while tracking said target, retrieving an error from said error function based on the received information, and compensating for the retrieved error.",
