Analysis of Center Finding Algorithms for Telescope Autoguiding System

We developed autoguiding system for IGRINS (Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph) which is a high resolution near-IR spectrograph. This instrument will be attached on the 2.7m telescope at the McDonald observatory in 2013 November. IGRINS consists of three near-Infrared detector modules, i. e., H and K band spectrograph modules and a K band slit camera module, within which we are using the slit camera for autoguiding of the telescope. Comparing to typical optical CCDs, however, the infrared array shows non-uniform responses, higher noises, and many bad pixels. In this poster, we present methods to improve center finding functions and algorithms for the infrared array and the simulator test results of the IGRINS Slit-Camera Package.
