This subroutine converts from celestial coordinates to instrument-centric coordinates, in either the DETX/Y (the same, up to a scalar multiple, as the CAMCOORD2 system) or TELCOORD systems, depending on which of the optional variables $detX$, $detY$, $thetaArcsec$ and $phi$ the caller has supplied.

NOTE this subroutine requires the cal to have been set to the correct instrument before the call.
