Estimated Manpower for Chapter 5

Component: Guider System Software

No estimates have been provided, as it is unclear where this work will be done, and what existing components may be incorporated. The general areas where software is needed include:

Guide Camera CCD Control;
Guider Image Display;
Image processing ("leaky memory");
Offset Control (object acquisition);
Autoguiding;
Calibration analysis (focus, stack alignment);
Image Coadding; and
Analysis of guider images (seeing and sky conditions) for logging.

Component: Mask Alignment Software
