Subsection of Mark IV image with WCS keywords
Tom has sent me a subsection of a recent image.
The image has the full FITS header attached, so you
can try out your favorite image display and analysis
routines on it. To see and download a copy, go to
the "Pretty Pictures" section of the TASS home page
http://a188-l009.rit.edu/tass/pretty.html
and scroll down to the bottom.
I have one request for the header: please write all RA and
Dec (and time) values with zeroes instead of spaces for
values less than ten. The header with this pretty picture
has
RA = '11: 3:5.01'
but this should be written
RA = '11:03:05.01'
It's easier to parse if the hours have 2 digits, the minutes
have 2 digits, and the seconds have 2 digits to the left of the
decimal point.
