... Q: How do I best determine an observation's actual orientation? ... The science header keyword ORIENTAT is populated by adding the angle between the HST V3 axis and the detector Y axis to what we will call the "commanded roll" (North to V3 through East). ... The commanded roll can be determined by subtracting the beta_2 from ORIENTAT. ... Relying on the jitter file's measured roll if a problem is found either with the science header population or with the execution of the commanded roll. ...
