mMakeHdr

Description:
From a list of images to be mosaicked together, mMakeHdr generates the FITS header that best describes the output image.
Syntax:
MakeHdr [-d level] [-s statusfile] [-p(ixel-scale) cdelt] [-n] images.tbl template.hdr [system [equinox]]

Switches:

-d level
Turns on debugging to the specified level (1-3).
-s statusfile
Output and errors are written to statusfile instead of to stdout.
-p cdelt
Specify a pixel scale for the header, if different from the input images
-n
"North-aligned" flag. By default, the FITS header generated represents the best fit to the images, often resulting in a slight rotation. If you want north to be straight up in your final mosaic, you should use this flag.

Arguments:

images.tbl
Metadata table (generated by mImgtbl) describing the images to be mosaicked.
template.hdr
Path to header template to be generated.
system (optional)
Specifies the system for the header (default is Equatorial). Possible values are:
  • EQUJ
  • EQUB
  • ECLJ
  • ECLB
  • GAL
  • SGAL
equinox (optional)
If a coordinate system is specified, the equinox can also be given in the form YYYY. Default is J2000.
Results:
Creation of output file template.hdr.

Examples:

$ mMakeHdr 2mass-images.tbl orig.hdr
[struct stat="OK", count=30]
