#### What is the purpose of this change? Due to some recent changes at Google Photos, the Title of photos (as entered in external programs like lightRoom, Apple Photos etc...

In testing imSim 2.0 I saw we neglected to handle the case where very bright objects are being imaged on out-of-focus sensors. This includes both the wavefront sensors and intra...

bug

In March 2025, we will be having an operations rehearsal where we will run the TMA and AuxTel and check dataflow/processing etc. The ComCam will run in playback mode and...

We may want to add sensor-to-sensor quantum efficiency (QE) variations to obs-lsst based on our measurements. Pixel to pixel response non-uniformity (a combination of pixel size variation and pixel to...

It's not clear the exact place for handling this, but emission line galaxies are important to some groups.

With Batoid and the DM camera model LATISS instance we could also consider simulating the AuxTel. Probably would need to model a dispersive element to do this though.

Optics Model

A perhaps complicated (but likely worthwhile) project would be to use Batoid to simulation the collimated beam projector (CBP) so we could simulate our calibrations. It would require sending beams...

Optics Model

Currently we are using the same noise and x-talk values for all sensors (based on a typical value as measured on the test stands).

Realism
Sensor

Although quite small (based on test-stand measurements) we should eventually add the ability to put in electronics non-linearity. As of 09/19/2018 information from @jchiang87 is that: "The most recent raft...

Recently @kadrlica did some dark matter work where he and others simulated a ultra-diffuse galaxy on a pre-existing field by generating the sources he needed with no sky or instrumental...
