Re: Fits Header




  I'd like to see the following: some are already
included in the headers of Mark IV images -- I've marked
the new ones I'm requesting with an asterisk

       RA                       / Right Ascension, either decimal degrees
                                /         or sexigesimal
       DEC                      / Declination, ditto
 *     EXPTIME                  / requested exposure time, in seconds
       FILTER                   / name of filter
 *     IMAGETYP                 / type of image: values are
                                /      'dark'        for a dark frame
                                /      'flat'        for a flatfield
                                /      'target'      for starfield
       UT                       / Universal Time at which exposure started
       DATE-OBS                 / UT Date at which exposure started
 *     OBSERVER                 / name of person operating camera
 *     LATITUDE                 / latitude of observatory 
                                /      either decimal degrees or sexigesimal
 *     LONGITUD                 / longitude of observatory, ditto
