6.   The Dither Script at WIYN


NOTE:  There have been significant enhancements in the dither script that are not represented here.  We will correct that as soon as possible.

Gene McDougall has written a very nice script that allows the observer to set up dither patterns designed for both point sources observations (small offsets) and extended source observations (large offsets).  NOTE:  The dither script does NOT “communicate” with IRTOOL!  YOU must be the communications link between the two by using IRTOOL to expose and the dither GUI to move the telescope.
