Maskgen 2.15 Release Notes

This is version 2.15 of Maskgen, published 08/05/2025

Changes made to the code since version 2.14:

  • The alignment star algorithm is now more strict about rejecting stars close to the LDSS3 FOV boundary, which should reduce the chances of a "lost" alignment star.
  • The LDSS3 footprint in the Skyview window now accurately reflects the asymmetric nature of the CCD/FOV intersection.
  • There is now an option to use Christoph Birk's Gaia catalog in the Skyview window.
  • Various updates to system library calls for more up-to-date operating systems.
