Key: offset A number of Miriad tasks either take or return celestial coordinates as offsets from some reference position -- invariably the observing center or the reference pixel. Although the `offset' keyword is generally used, the fitting tasks include offsets in their "spar" keyword, whereas IMPOS uses the "coord" keyword. Offset celestial coordinates are always given in arcseconds on the sky. The offset, (x,y), is related to a true sky coordinate, (RA,DEC), by x = (RA - RA0) * cos(DEC0) y = DEC - DEC0 (These equations should be viewed as a definition, rather than a small angle approximation). Tasks invariably convert the offset coordinates to true sky coordinates before further converting them to something more computationally convenient (e.g. pixel coordinates or direction cosines).
