NominalFrame#

class ctapipe.coordinates.nominal_frame.NominalFrame(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: BaseCoordinateFrame

Nominal coordinate frame.

A Frame using a UnitSphericalRepresentation. This is basically the same as a HorizonCoordinate, but the origin is at an arbitrary position in the sky. This is what astropy calls a SkyOffsetCoordinate

If the telescopes are in divergent pointing, this Frame can be used to transform to a common system.

Attributes:

origin: astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord[AltAz]: Origin of this frame as a HorizonCoordinate
obstime: astropy.time.Time: Observation time
location: astropy.coordinates.EarthLocation: Location of the telescope

Attributes Summary

`frame_attributes`
`frame_specific_representation_info`	Mapping for frame-specific component names
`location`	A frame attribute
`name`
`obstime`	A frame attribute
`origin`	A frame attribute
