how to convert pixel coordinates to wcs coordinates

Nils wrote on Feb 08, 2011

I need to know the accurate position of an object. I used 'imcentroid' to get the pixel coordinates. How do I get the wcs coordinates? The image is calibrated astronomically.

See the WCSCTRAN task, in particular Example 3 of its help page.
