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.
