[fitsbits] WCS keywords in tables
Hi Bill, The WCSLIB implementation generalizes the usage of the SDFITS convention: http://www.cv.nrao.edu/fits/document...fits/sdfits.ps http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2000ASPC..216..243G SDFITS dates back to 1995 and before. Its WCS construct was the obvious thing to do before the table keywords were defined by WCS Paper I, so I wouldn't be surprised to find it elsewhere. Processed data from the Parkes and Mopra radio telescopes are written in SDFITS with this WCS convention. Regards, Mark On Tue 2010/04/06 12:56:25 -0400, William Pence wrote in a message to: FITSBITS So far there have been no objections to this simplifying WCS convention for images stored in FITS binary tables. If that's really the case, then I will write up a short description (crediting Mark Calabretta as the originator) and submit it for inclusion in the Registry of FITS Conventions on the FITS support office web site.
