Instrument Orientations and Offset Directions
IRAF View
This is the orientation of the image as viewed in an image display
via IRAF (e.g. ximtool, saoimage). Note: This is different from the
orentation of the image as viewed on a Macintosh, via Remark. Scroll
down the page for the Macintosh orientation.
A +X, +Y instrument offset will move a star in the direction indicated
by the arrows. Directions of East and North are given for 0 degrees
object rotation. Note: The offset direction depends upon which
interface the offset command was issued in!
