add light trap assignments #42

Open sbailey opened 8 years ago

sbailey commented 8 years ago

The fiber positioners will have light traps along their arms, to be used for capturing the light of especially bright objects instead of letting their light randomly scatter about the instrument.

FYI, DESI-0899 is the doc with the definition of where the light traps are on the ends of the positioners.

Revisiting this issue in light of recent code developments.

To first order, DESI_TARGET bit 50 "BRIGHT_OBJECT" would be the things we'd consider for putting on a light trap.
