make_distortion_maps¶

simcado.spatial.make_distortion_maps(real_xy, detector_xy, step=1)[source]¶

Generate distortion maps based on star positions.

The centres of the returned images correspond to the centre of the detector plane

Parameters

real_xylist: [arcsec] Contains 2 arrays: ([x_pos], [y_pos]) where x_pos, y_pos are the coordinates of the real position of the stars
detector_xylist: [arcsec] Contains 2 arrays: ([x_pos], [y_pos]) where x_pos, y_pos are the coordinates of the detected position of the stars
stepfloat: [arcsec] the grid spacing of the returned images

Returns
