After some testing and discussion, it has become clear(er) that the user-provided
--roll
argument is really the position angle measured at the aperture's V2Ref/V3Ref (measured from North to YIdl). The handling of this value inwcs.py
was also fixed for the case where the aperture used is BORESIGHT.Note that the code in
wcs.py
converts this value toroll_ref
, which is defined as the angle from North to V3 (towards East) measured at the aperture V2Ref/V3Ref, but from a user perspective, it makes more sense to specify the position angle of the aperture on the sky, hence the clarification provided here.
