NAME:
astsolve
PURPOSE:
Solve for astrometric transformation from image to sky coordinates.
DESCRIPTION:
CATEGORY:
Astrometry
CALLING SEQUENCE:
astsolve,x,y,xi,eta,xiterms,etaterms,renormfac,bad,cxi,ceta
INPUTS:
x - Image x-coordinate (should be "normalized" to range from -1 to 1)
y - Image y-coordinate (should be "normalized" to range from -1 to 1)
xi - Standard tanget plane coordinate (should be in arcsec)
eta - Standard tanget plane coordinate (should be in arcsec)
xiterms - Which fitting terms to use (see ASTTERMS.PRO)
etaterms - Which fitting terms to use (see ASTTERMS.PRO)
renormfac - Re-normalization factor for converting from normalized x,y to
the original x,y values.
bad - array of flags that mark bad data on input (modified).
OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS:
KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS:
EDIT - Flag, if set allows interactive bad point editing.
XFLIP - Flag, if set flips x axis plot when editing bad points.
YFLIP - Flag, if set flips y axis plot when editing bad points.
OUTPUTS:
cxi - coefficients of xi fit.
ceta - coefficients of eta fit.
bad - array of flags that mark bad data on output.
KEYWORD OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
WORSTRESID - Worst residual in "good" data in either axis (arcsec)
XISCAT - Scatter of xi fit (arcsec).
ETASCAT - Scatter of eta fit (arcsec).

MODIFICATION HISTORY:
98/03/13, Written by Marc W. Buie, Lowell Observatory
98/11/23, MWB, added renormfac and fixed documentation
2000/09/14, MWB, added WORSTRESID keyword
2001/08/27, MWB, changed to auto-scale errors with /edit
2003/06/24, MWB, changed call to MARKDATA to use new features.
2003/10/27, MWB, fixed subtle bug during bad point cleanup. The test
was done on O-C against the std deviation of a
robust mean. The test needs to remove the mean of
the surviving sample.
2006/02/03, MWB, added XISCAT and ETASCAT output keywords.
