Complications
● TDI operation across very large focal planes➠ Complex calibration task
● Windows may contain in addition to single star:➠ binary components, background sources➠ spikes from PSFs of nearby stars
● Overlapping fields of view in Astro
● Windows mostly 1-dimensional➠ Line-spread function (LSF) instead of Point-spread function➠ Mapping of surroundings of observed objects required
● Very different resolution scales Astro and Spectro➠ Specific treatment crowded regions
