Description

This program

  • reads a FITS image file
  • extracts relevant information from the header
  • adds a record to the make_sumfiles.in file

  • adds a raw 8- or 16- bit image to the IMAGEFILES directory

The 12-character picture name consists of a one-character camera identifier, a 9-character ephemeris time, and a two-character filter identifier.

The data stored in each image file contained in the IMAGEFILES directory is a scaled unsigned integer (2 bytes or 16 bits), with the exclusion of values less than 0. Acceptable values are from 0 to 32767.

If the source is a real (or 32-bit float) value process_fits takes the original images' data float and calculates the maximum value. Then it scales the data to spread from 0 to 32767 to maximize the accuracy of the stored data.

Required Files

  • FITS image file - You provide the name as part of the standard input.
