 Description   

Return a `pfsConfig` for all SUNSS_IMAGING and SUNSS_DIFFUSE fibers. Use the provided (ra, dec, pa) pointing to generate approximate ra, dec for the fibers. If none provided, set all ra/dec to NaN. In any case, set all pfi positions to NaN.

ra/dec/pa might be fuzzed to avoid information leakage, but that would be done by the ICC caller.

More specifically, we need a (pfs_utils?) library function which returns a pfsConfig given (ra, dec, pa), where (ra, dec) is the telescope pointing and pa is the SuNSS rotator angle w.r.t. the sky.

We will need a second routine to calculate that pa, since SuNSS has a peculiar physical rotation. But we do have the angle of SuNSS relative to the telescope calibrated, right? yuki.moritani?

Well, I think Jim's document (page 8 of AligningSunssV4.pdf) answers  the question?

Thanks for the pointer. So the x-y shift using the set screws has been applied? In which case the telescope boresight falls on the center fiber, and from there N is 4.1 degrees East of fiber 1 (6.7deg from the truss angle minus the 2.6deg measured calibration for the ferrule seating, etc.). Right? With 7 fibers along the 60deg edge that seems a good match with the figure...

Yes, one adjustment was applied, and we checked the adjustment.

(See a few conversations from "rhl Sat 2021-04-03 01:58PM")  We were almost there. Further analysis is needed if we apply the second alignment.

Yes.. 4.1 degree sounds correct.
