A couple other keyword entries that have been noted as missing:
ORIGIN
TELCODE
TELCODE
describes the camera, i.e., MC
for main camera and CC
for ComCam. ORIGIN
describes what produced the file, e.g., imSim v2.0
. Also, the DAYOBS
values probably need a 12 hour offset.
Also noted during ops-rehearsal-3 preparations: the DAYOBS
header value should be defined with a 12 hour offset applied to MJD. Details TBC. See https://rubinobs.atlassian.net/browse/DM-43495
Why are they offsetting the DAYOBS by 12 hours? Seems not great to lie about what time it is. But maybe I don't understand something.
I think it's a question of whether the observing day starts at midnight or at Noon.
Isn't MJD an objective time though? I didn't think there was ambiguity in how it was defined.
The proposal is not to change MJD, but to compute DAYOBS from MJD with an offset. I don't think anyone cares about DAYOBS except the Rubin pipeines.
Some documentation on expected header keywords: https://docushare.lsst.org/docushare/dsweb/Get/LSE-400
Do you think there are now some new ones we are missing?
I think the ones we absolutely need have been added here, but I'd like to do some additional checks against the new obs_lsst code with the LsstCamSim instrument model.

For the ops-rehearsal-3 activities, a number of keywords describing the observations were noted as missing, specifically the
null
ones in this list (see the post in slack):However, the
*END
values aren't used by the metadata translator for the LSST pipelines code, so those can be omitted.
