Re: [guide-user] Adding WCS images

Christian Sturm Feb 16, 2005

Hello Bill,

I tried to show my fit-images in guide and it works fine.

I am using astrometrica for astrometry and astrometrica is able to save WCS data in fit
file. My fits files are 16 bit.

Many thanks for this great benefit!


Christian, A34
