5.3 Mosaicking a Portion of the Total FIF<br />
If you have a list of images covering a large area of the sky, but only wish to make a mosaic<br />
covering a small portion, you can use the Mosaic Geometry module. This module can take a usersupplied<br />
FIF, along with the full lists of input images, and create lists of only those images that<br />
fall within the FIF area. To create a modified FIF and run Mosaic Geometry:<br />
1. Create the Fiducial Image Frame based on the full input list of images. To do this, run<br />
Mosaic with only the Fiducial Image Frame activated in the namelist. This will create the<br />
FIF.tbl file that specifies the spatial boundaries of all of your input frames.<br />
2. Open FIF.tbl in a text editor, and modify it to cover only the spatial area that you wish to<br />
mosaic. For example, the initia l FIF.tbl format is as follows:<br />
\char comment = Output from fiducial_image_frame, version 1.4<br />
\char Date-Time = Mar 12, 2012, 09:21:44<br />
\real CRVAL1 = 329.129598<br />
\real CRVAL2 = 64.662007<br />
\real CRPIX1 = 264.50<br />
\real CRPIX2 = 382.50<br />
\real CROTA2 = -71.01896<br />
\real CDELT1 = -3.39817E-04<br />
\real CDELT2 = -3.39801E-04<br />
\int NAXIS1 = 528<br />
\int NAXIS2 = 764<br />
\int EQUINOX = 2000<br />
\char PROJTYPE = TAN<br />
\char COORDINATE_SYSTEM = J2000<br />
\char CTYPE1 = RA---TAN<br />
\char CTYPE2 = DEC—TAN<br />
\real EXTENT_X = 0.179423<br />
\real EXTENT_Y = 0.259608<br />
These are standard FITS header keywords for the most part. The EXTENT_X and EXTENT_Y<br />
keywords are sizes (in degrees) of the nominal mosaic frame if the default pixel scale is used.<br />
