The following values are used to describe the pattern used for MUSE datacubes: ============================================================================== string N_input derotator aligned offsets description ? to RA/DEC? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROTATE2 2 YES YES small angles 0,90 or 0,180 or similar ROTATE3 3 YES YES small 0,90,180 or similar ROTATE4 4 YES YES small 0,90,180,270 or similar ROTATE2_custom 2 YES NO small same as above but aligned to object axis etc. DEEP NO YES/NO small no rotation between frames MAP YES/NO NO large large offsets between sets of frames (often pairs) any N>4 datacube is classified 'MAP' for simplicity (disregarding offsets and rotation angles).
