NAME:
astxy2rd
PURPOSE:
Astrometry conversion from image (x,y) to ($\alpha$,$\delta$)
DESCRIPTION:
This transformation is based on a simple linear transformation with
rotation from the celestial sphere to linear CCD chip coordinates.
This is only an approximate treatment and will not work for very large
fields.
CATEGORY:
Astrometry
CALLING SEQUENCE:
astxy2rd,x,y,info,ra,dec
INPUTS:
x - X coordinate in image
y - Y coordinate in image
info - Transformation information held in an anonymous structure with
the following tags:
racen - Right ascension of center of image.
deccen - Declination of center of image.
pscale - Plate scale (arcsec/pixel).
rang - Rotation angle of image (radians).
xflip - -1 if image flipped in X, 1 if not.
yflip - -1 if image flipped in Y, 1 if not.
xc - X center of image.
yc - Y center of image.
