FAST slit sky orientation

Created 09/27/2019 by EF

Warren Brown verified the orientation on the sky of the FAST slit.
During a short window with clear sky the night of 09/26/19, he viewed a star on the guider at rotator PA 90 and 0, as he slewed E and N.

  • At default PA=90, objects move to the top of the slit (high pixel values) when I slew E.
    Thus, the top is the W side of the slit, and the bottom the E side of the slit.
  • At PA=0, objects move to the top (high pixel values) when I slew N.
    Thus, the top is the S side of the slit, and the bottom the N side of the slit.
