Well, if there is a way out, you aren't going to get it
from me. I'm spending the day with the family celebrating
a late Christmas. I'm just say that IF there is an
answer, it will probably be found among the JHUAPL
time routines.

It is certainly possible to map lat/lon positions to
image coordinates. I find Value_Locate, used in conjunction
with projected XY values, to be invaluable for this purpose.

Cheers,

David
