== P3.12 Astrometry plate scale and orientation == - **Phase** : 3 - **Status** : Draft - **Category** : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C5) + Nighttime calibration (C6) - **Recurrence** : every night starting from commissioning - **Duration** : 2 hours **Description** - Determine the astrometry of the science frame. Deduce detector on sky coordinates & plate scale from RA & DEC of known multiple stellar systems. This calibration is to be done for a reference setup. **Prerequisites** - Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side. - Atmospheric conditions: AO working conditions. - Bad pixel map, Background or Dark, Flat-field, distortion map **Procedure** - Observe multiple systems with known characteristics without the coronagraph **Templates** **Success criteria** - Image scale better than 5 mas (goal 0.5 mas) over FoV, image orientation better than 3 arcmins (goal 18 arcsec) **Notes** - Same as activity 7.1 in AD4 **LBTO support** - AO support **Date performed and by whom**
