multiple image fits files

douglas brenner wrote on May 17, 2006

I want to put several images into a single fits file. i.e. make a data cube.

so

for i = 1 to 10
imcopy filei to cube.fits?

What is the proper form for my cube.fits? such that I end up with all 10 files in the same fits file and can display them in ds9

Thanks.
