+An alternative to fitting the rotation of the FPA relative to the
+Tangent Plane is to treat the fitted transformation as a measurement
+of the chip within the FPA.  The following function performs this
+operation in the same way as \code{pmAstromFitFPA}:
+\begin{prototype}
+bool pmAstromFitChip (pmFPA *fpa, psArray *st1, psArray *st2, psArray *match, psMetadata *config);
+\end{prototype}
+This function accepts the raw and reference source lists for a single
+chip and the list of matched entries.  It uses the matched list to
+determine a polynomial transformation between the two coordinate
+systems.  The fitting uses clipping to exclude outliers, likely
+representing poor matches.  The \code{config} element must contain the
+information \code{ASTROM_NSIGMA} (specifying the number of sigma used
+in the clipping) and \code{ASTROM_NCLIP} (specifying the number of
+clipping iterations must be performed).  The \code{config} element
+must also specify the order of the polynomial fit (keyword:
+\code{ASTROM_ORDER}).  The result of this fit is a set of
+modifications of the components of the \code{pmChip.toFPA}
+transformation.

 A mosaic represents a particular set of challenges when determining an
 astrometric solution.  There is substantial degeneracy between the
