Name
wcshead - Print WCS part of FITS or IRAF image header
Synopsis
wcshead [-hrtvsz] FITS or IRAF file(s)
Description
wcshead is a utility for printing the world coordinate system information in IRAF and FITS image headers. It converts IRAF .imh image head-
ers to FITS format before extracting the information. For IRAF files, the image dimensions and the object name are set from the binary
portion of the header.
Options
-h Print CRVALs as hh:mm:ss and dd:mm:ss instead of degrees
-r Print first dimension as rest wavelength limiting values
-t Print tab-separated table output, with headers
-v Print more intermediate information for debugging
-w Print only first dimension limiting values (wavelength for spectra)
-z Use AIPS classic projections instead of WCSLIB
