moveheader

douglas brenner wrote on Sep 15, 2008

I have a fits file with the necessary header information in fits[0] and the image in fits[1].

I tried moveheader test.fits test.fits[1] new.fits[0, overwrite] but without luck.

thanks

I'm not quite sure what your intent is here, are you trying to turn this from a MEF into a simple FITS image and preserve the header? If so, something like

cl> imcopy test[1,inherit+] new.fits

will do the trick.

MOVEHEADER is geared towards GEIS images but even so in your example you're asking for the header from the MEF (the whole thing??), the pixels from extension 1, and the result back in the PHU. Anyway, let me know if the above doesn't solve your problem.

Cheers,
