I had forgotten the option --zbfit
to refit the Zhao-Burge polynomial coefficients from the fiducials.
With this, the desimeter-dither rms reduces to 0.42 arcsec which is a bit better. I think this indicates we have to work more on the fvc2fp
transform, and in particular as a function of the ADC angles.
Just verifying---this is without the "cheat" refitting rotation + scale + offset parameters? The trends are clearly very low order.
Yes, 'this is without the "cheat" refitting rotation + scale + offset parameters'.
number of valid targets from dither analysis = 1758
residual scale along HA = 1-7.8e-05
residual scale along Dec = 1-4.1e-06
residual pointing offset dHA = -0.11 arcsec
residual pointing offset dDec = -0.15 arcsec
residual rotation = -9.19 arcsec
desimeter(guide+fvc)-target rms 2D = 0.44 arcsec
dither-target rms 2D = 0.23 arcsec
desimeter(guide+fvc)-dither rms 2D = 0.42 arcsec
transformed(desimeter) -dither rms 2D = 0.26 arcsec
This PR adds some documentation and a script to perform a dither analysis with desimeter. The most recent dither sequence from 2020/03/15 is used as an example.
On this particular sequence, the result is not great, the rms of residuals is of 0.5 arcsec (there is still work to be done, in particular validate the ADC rotation correction: signs and zero points).
