- Position of integrated peak bin offset from actual gaussian peak position - could estimate position using relative heights of adjacent bins.

- Each pixel value consists of a summation of n random variables (e.g. y=x1+...+xn). Each random variable corresponds to the contribution of a particular star (out of n stars in the image).

- Each random variable follows a Poisson distribution, with a mean value (E[x]) equal to the integrated value of a star's gaussian profile over the pixel area.
- We can assume that these random variables are not correlated (correlation coefficient P=0), therefore the total mean value will be the sum of individual mean values (E[y]=E[x1]+...+E[xn]).
- We can also assume that the summed pixel values (from star contributions only) also follow a Poisson distribution.
- Therefore, we can simulate te 'counting' of photons in each pixel by using the total intgrated pixel value as the mean to gain a random poisson distributed value.
- Example: projection (y=0) of a 16x1 pixel grid with a star generated at x=7.75 (A=100, sigma=2):

- Test 1: 100x100 pixels, A=100, 10 stars
-
- Small pixel value range results in very obvious variations in signal data.
- Test 2: 100x100 pixels, A=65535 (pixel value range for camera), 10 stars
-
- Larger pixel value range results in less obvious variations - almost indistinguishable from earlier gaussian simulation.
