Read GeMS first on-sky results (Rigaut+ SPIE 2012) in more detail:
-appears very relevant benchmark (MCAO, 8.1meter telescope, LGS) for MICADO + MAORY 39m E-ELT. Only reality-case I now know off.
-astrometric pipeline in paper simplistic. Yet no indication of hitting intra-night dynamic systematics for relative astrometry downto at least ~400microarcsec.
Not covered in paper:
-inter-night/epoch dynamic systematics
-static systematics: is MICADO calibration mask sufficient to monitor this? On-sky near polar field also needed?
I have emailed Rodrigo Carrasco ( a GeMS instrument scientist) to get to their experience on these. No response yet.
-to do: determine if MAD is another benchmark.
