Assume I create a large array containing a function (such as a
gaussian) and I use my favorite routine to fit the function. I then
rebin the array to a smaller array, and fit again. It seems that the
answers for the peak, and width of the smaller function should be the
values for the large array divided by the scaling I rebinned by, so
long as I haven't rebinned so badly that I'm no longer properly
sampled, right? I'm finding offsets which I can't explain easily.

a=psf_gaussian(npix=512,fwhm=90)
b=rebin(a,64,64)
c=rebin(a,16,16)
t1=gauss2dfit(a,p1,/tilt)
t2=gauss2dfit(b,p2,/tilt)
t3=gauss2dfit(c,p3,/tilt)
print,p1/32,p2/4,p3

yeilds:

6.91216e-10 0.031247 1.19436 1.19436 7.98438 7.98438 0.00000
3.84789e-08 0.247748 1.19650 1.19650 7.87500 7.87500 0.00000
-3.39881e-05 0.869213 1.22937 1.22937 7.50000 7.50000 0.00000

I'd like to figure out where those half and .375 pixel offsets come
from.
