Reading through the Plank 2013 Results we can see that the angular scale is ##0.0104147## or ##0.60^\circ##. However, the Power Spectrum chart clearly shows the first multipole at ##220## ##l##. Using the relation $$\theta = \frac {180^\circ}{l},$$I calculate the first multipole to peak at ##302## ##l##. Would someone please show the steps of how you go from ##0.0104147## to ##220## ##l##?
 
Be careful with the graph. It does not show the power, it shows the power multiplied by l(l+1). The calculation of the angular scale might measure the peak of something else, i. e. with a different l-dependent prefactor.
