Purpose :

Compute an Astrometric Plate Solution

Procedure :

This program takes the specified astrometric catalogue and finds the RA,Dec coordinates and pixel positions on the plate from the MCO file. It then computes the coefficients of the plate model. At this time only the polynomial model is supported.

Calling Sequence :

ASTROSOL MCO filename: [/CATALOG_CODE]; (Valid codes - SSC default,AAC, CPC, PPM, PPS, P7A); [/USERCAT=filename]; [/USERMCO=filename]; [/XMIN=lx] [/XMAX=ux] [/XRANGE=(lx,ux)]; [/YMIN=ly] [/YMAX=uy] [/YRANGE=(ly,uy)]; [/BRIGHT=lm] [/FAINT=um] [/MAGRANGE=(lm,um)]; [/MODEL=type] (3TERM, 6TERM default, 10TERM); [/PRECORRECT] **NOT IMPLEMENTED**; [/ITERATE=([MAX_ITER=n{def=5}],[SIGMA=n{def=2.5}],[DELTA_SIGMA=n{def=0.25}]); [/COMMENT="String"] write to DID file; [/PLOT=plot_q] (GS2150_POST, GS_POST, 4N_POST, X, NOPRINT{def}); [/PRINT=print_q] (GS_ANSI{def}, GS2150_ANSI, 4N_ANSI, TTA3); [/VERBOSE]; [/[no]ANNOTATE] write to DID file; [/[no]UPDATE] update GSH calibration keywords; [/MASK] **NOT IMPLEMENTED**; [/SUBPLATES] **NOT IMPLEMENTED**; [/DEBUG]
