INT CCD scales and orientations



Following orientations are as seeing in the DS9 display without rotation or flip.

CCD 1,3,4: North left, East down
CCD 2: North down, East right

For WFC, to match standard sky orientation in finding charts (that is North up, East left) DS9 display should be rotated as follows:
  • CCD1, CCD3 and CCD4: rotates 270 degrees (DS9 top menu -> Zoom -> 270 Degrees)

  • CCD2: rotates 180 degrees (DS9 top menu -> Zoom -> 180 Degrees)


IDS acquisition camera

(arcsec)
Orientation
IDS-AG0
70x70
For sky PA=0: North right, East down
For sky PA=90: North up, East right

For IDS+Red+2 acquisition camera to match the standard sky orientation (North UP and East to the LEFT) in the DS9 it is necessary to rotate 90 and invert Y (DS9 top menu -> Zoom -> 90 Degrees & Invert Y) .
