pro GSSS_StdAst,h,xpts,ypts ;+ ; NAME: ; GSSS_STDAST ; ; PURPOSE: ; Insert the closest tangent projection astrometry into an GSSS Image ; ; DESCRIPTION: ; This procedure takes a header with GSSS (ST Guide Star Survey) ; astrometry and writes a roughly equivalent tangent projection ; astrometry into the header. One might want to do this if (1) ; one needs to use software which does not recognize the GSSS astrometric ; parameters or (2) if the the image to be transformed, since the ; highly nonlinear GSSS solution does not transform easily. ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; GSSS_STDAST, H, [Xpts, Ypts] ; ; INPUT - OUTPUT: ; H - FITS header (string array) containing GSSS astrometry. ; GSSS_STDAST will write the roughly equivalent tangent projection ; astrometry solution into H. ; OPTIONAL INPUTS: ; xpts, ypts -- Vectors giving the X and Y positions of the three ; reference points used to find approximate tangent projection. ; Default is Xpts = [0.2,0.8,0.5], Ypts = [0.2, 0.4, 0.8] ; METHOD: ; The procedures GSSSXYAD is used to exactly determine the RA and Dec ; at 3 reference points. STARAST is then used to find the tangent ; projection astrometry that best matches these reference points. ; ; NOTES: ; Images from the STScI server (http://archive.stsci.edu/dss/) contain ; both a GSSS polynomial plate solution and an approximate WCS tangent ; projection. The value of the WCSNAME keyword in the FITS header ; is 'DSS'. If WCSNAME = "DSS' then the more accurate DSS astrometry ; is extracted by EXTAST This procedure changes the value of WCSNAME ; to 'DSS_TANGENT' to indicate that the tangent solution should be used. ; ; Some early GSSS images (before the 1994 CD-Rom) used keywords CRPIXx ; rather than CNPIXx. The GSSS astrometry in these images could be ; corrupted by this procedure as the CRPIXx values will be altered. ; ; The tangent is only a approximation of the nonlinear GSSS astrometry, ; but is generally accurate to about 0.1 pixels on a 1024 x 1024 image. ; ; PROCEDURES USED: ; GSSSEXTAST, GSSSXYAD, STARAST, PUTAST, SXADDHIST, SXDELPAR ; ; HISTORY: ; 13-AUG-91 Version 2 written from MAKEASTGSSS Eric Deutsch (STScI) ; Delete CDELT* keywords from header W.
