Scientific paper

Ground-based optical navigation seeks to determine the angular position of a star, Solar System body, or laser-emitting spacecraft relative to objects with well-known coordinates. Measurement accuracies of 25 nrad would make optical techniques competitive with current radio metric technology. This article examines a proposed design for a wide-field astrograph and concludes that the deviation of an image centroid from the ideal projection can be modeled to the desired accuracy provided that the field of view does not exceed 5 deg on a side.
