Title: FITS headers
Post by: Fay on Dec 31, 2011, 21:38:56
what would be the reason that sometimes  FITS header shows all info & other times it does not?

Thanks

Hi,

Depends on the camera and the software support, you will probably find its something like if I use X with Y software it does not work but X with Z does.

Fay,

When you say 'complete' that's not true.  MaximDL may show more FITS keywords but even that is a subset but you might find that AA has options that enable more keywords or that because some information is unknown or unset it just doesn't add those keywords.
