Hello folks,
I’ve got a question about the Flats Wizard. I’ve only just started using this and noticed after the fact that it does not record the FOCALLEN key word in the fits header. I use this after-the-fact to sort out which telescope belongs to which flat files.
I was going to say that I didn’t think this was an issue with flats that I manually add to my sequences, but looking back at some old files, I’m not sure that’s true… I seem to have some flat files with and some without this keyword. Not sure why that is, but (other than trying to sort out some archives) perhaps a totally separate issue.
Is there some way to add this data to the header when using the wizard? Now that I’ve discovered the flats wizard, I quite like the convenience. I just want to be able to reference back to the image headers and not rely on a folder structure to marry up my calibration data to my lights.
Update - I did sort my old archives… I’ve got all my files in a SQL database so matched up the camera and session dates with my light frames that way. Would still like to have that FOCALLEN keyword in my new files as I use a python script to sort thru my incoming data files - hence the SQL database. Could likely do a similar workaround with the light frames, but simpler if the files are all self contained.
Thanks!
Corey
