@kingbob8, maybe you're able to help here?
If you're able to directly obtain a HMI image from JSOC, do you see the same thing for the same image?
This top one is from SDOML, the white cross is the (0,0) point in Stonyhurst coordinates
And this one I've obtained directly from JSOC using the hmi.B_720s
series and the field
segment, which I think is what is used for SDOML. It seems like the (0,0) point is in the same position so it's probably not something to do with SDOML but if anyone knows why the point shouldn't be at the centre I'd really appreciate some insights!
For completeness, this is what the hmi.M_720s
magnetogram looks like. Same thin
I believe it's most likely due to inclination that hasn't been corrected for. It should perhaps line up twice a year at (0,0)? I would suggest plotting the position as a function of time, and it should be ~ sinusoidal
I'll try to do that. Seems likely to be what happens, but I've never heard of such a thing with SDO and images in JHelioviewer seem to be centred, which leads me to believe it may be something to do with SunPy. I'll try to open an issue in their project because their chat isn't working and I'll comment back in case this is useful for people in the future.
Indeed, it does have a sinusoidal pattern over time in the y-direction
I'm trying to convert Stonyhurst coordinates into pixel values by using Sunpy. A simple example, assuming root is the SDOML
s3://gov-nasa-hdrl-data1/contrib/fdl-sdoml/fdl-sdoml-v2/sdomlv2_hmi.zarr/
folder, is as follows (this is just plotting the stonyhurst coordinates which can later on be converted to pixel values withworld_to_pixel
)However, the centre in stonyhurst coordinates is not at the centre of the image. Is this expected? As I understand it, SDO images should have the stonyhurst centre in the centre of the image. Could this be a problem when reading the header information? Or is it a result of the processing that is applied to SDOML data.
