Apertures

The objective here is to direct the light from an object of interest to a particular point (an aperture) in the focal plane. Apertures are specified in angular units. They cause the tangent-plane coordinates tex2html_wrap_inline432 to be modified to tex2html_wrap_inline434 , as follows:

displaymath429

where tex2html_wrap_inline436 is the aperture position as given to the TCS.
