Using MSCRED on IMACS dataStarted by:drupke, 08/23/2007 03:28PM
Hello,

I am endeavouring to use MSCRED for the
coordinate refinement and stacking of
wide-field mosaic images obtained with
the IMACS camera on Magellan.

I have a WCS solution from star fields.
This particular solution is expressed as
a 3rd-order pol...

Hi,

I am working on MOSAIC data and I have
the problem, that when I want to get a
good wcs solution I always get an high
error for the rms when I am using

solution I tried interactive fitting,
but I was not able to c...

done the preliminary reduction (flat
