[Comm2011] astrometric solution

Hi again,

I made astrometric solution with constant plate scale, and regular grid CCD
positions (ie no rotations of ccds, no offsets with respect to a
rectangular grid). Only difference is the AG and IA CCDs, which may
deviate slightly from the grid. ADC and TLC have different plate
scales. 

There also seemed to be a different pointing center with the ADC in: a non-neglegible 0.0055 degree offset in X=RA. Needs more investigation.

CRVAL1 and CRVAL2 correspond to the telescope position RA, DEC. RA---TAN and DEC--TAN projection.

Plate scales CD1_1=CD2_2:
 with ADC in:  0.00005974     (0.21506"/pix)
 with ACD out: 0.000059286111 (0.21343"/pix) - theoretical value.

The images I analysed were
with ADC:
OMEGACAM_IMG_OBS219_0007.fits
and associated IA and AG full-frame images

without ADC:
OMEGA.2011-08-05T02:38:36.567.fits
and an associated AG full frame readout.

Note I got the IA CCD solution only from observations with ADC in. But there is no reason why the CRPIX's should change as a result of the ADC.

CRPIX values:
