[Issues] AstrometricParametersTask Error

[John P. McFarland]

Dear Chien-Hsiu,

The FIXME below is merely an optimization and has nothing to do with this.

It appears you are using the AWBASE version of the code, and with that code 
I do not get any errors.  I also tried various other configurations and see 
no problem.  Can you send me an example of a frame where the 
AstrometricParametersTask fails so I can try it myself?  Thanks.

Cheers,


-=John
