FITS header error

Sequence Generator
1

Version 2.6.0.23

Fits header is writing CTYPE1 and CTYPE2 as

CTYPE1 RA—DEF
CTYPE2 DEC–DEF

DEF is not an option in the standard, this prevents certain software from opening images that have been saved with plate solve information in them. These should be saving out as:

RA—TAN
DEC–TAN

Thanks!

@rankinstudio

That’s reasonable. Not even sure where the notion of “default” projection came from at this point. This will be modified in the next release.

Thanks Ken!
