I ran some raytraces of the TMA mirror using OSAC parameters which I received
from Jack Hughes. The coordinate system used is the OSAC system, with
the Z = 0.0 plane located at the WIDE end of the P. I ran both infinite
and finite source cases. The finite source distance was assumed to
be 1744.6 ft(531,754mm). This places the centerline of the TMA approximately
14.6 ft WEST(away from the fource) of the Pier "2" centerline, which is also
the HRMA centerline. This is per Ed McLaughlin's sketch of the TMA
installation. The grating plane is placed 5000 mm from the finite
source focal plane, thus resulting in an avg ray ring diameter of 349.1 mm.
The shutter plane is assumed to be ~546 mm from the TMA mid-plane, as
installed before. The avg ray ring diameter at the shutter plane is 385.58 mm.
