Synopsis

Convert from Sky tangent coordinates to FPC by reversing the aspect solution.

Array_Type pix_deapply_aspect( Double_Type x, Double_Type y,
Double_Type u, Double_Type v, Double_Type roll )

Description

This routine converts a position in the Sky tangent coordinate system to the Focal Plane coordinate (FPC) system. To perform this conversion the routine needs to know the aspect solution, knowledge of where the telescope was pointing at the time the photon was detected. The (x,y) values give the photon location in the Sky tangent system, in pixels, while the (u,v,roll) values give the aspect offset information, with (u,v) in pixels and roll is the roll angle in degrees. The return value is a two-element array which gives the FPC coordinates in pixels.

Notes

It is recommended that the pix_dmTanPixToWorld() and pix_TanWorldToPix() routines are used instead of pix_apply_aspect() and pix_deapply_aspect(), since the results will be more accurate.
