ACS-HRC-MOSAIC-LINE pointing patterns

HRC Mosaic Box graph

This is a one-dimensional (shift in y only) mosaic pattern, with the following allowable parameter ranges:

     Pattern_Number: 1 
       Pattern_Type: ACS-HRC-MOSAIC-LINE
    Pattern_Purpose: MOSAIC
   Number_Of_Points: 2-9
      Point_Spacing: 10.0 - 130.0 (arcseconds)
       Line_Spacing: 10.0 - 130.0 (arcseconds)
   Coordinate_Frame: POS-TARG
     Pattern_Orient: 0.0 - 360.0  (degrees)     
Angle_Between_Sides: 0.0 - 360.0  (degrees) 
     Center_Pattern: ?            (YES or NO)

The following versions of this Pattern_Type are projected onto the sky (a DSS image of a galaxy) in the graphic above. The Visual Target Tuner (VTT) was used to make this graphic.

The default pattern is actually just the first 2 (leftmost) pointings in the VTT graphic above.

     Pattern_Number: 25
       Pattern_Type: ACS-HRC-MOSAIC-LINE
    Pattern_Purpose: MOSAIC
   Number_Of_Points: 2
      Point_Spacing: 24.130
       Line_Spacing: 0.
   Coordinate_Frame: POS-TARG
     Pattern_Orient: 90.0
Angle_Between_Sides: N/A
     Center_Pattern: YES

POS TARG equivalent:  0.000, -12.065
                      0.000,  12.065
