Editing FITS Headers

[TerryMcK]

Anybody know a quick way to batch edit the FITS header? I took some subs last night and forgot the FILTER to be added to the header on 16 of them. Needless to say WBPP errors. I found a website https://www.theastrogazer.com/home/fits-header-tool which supposedly is some freeware but that program has a bitmining program embedded within it.

If there is only 16 of them do you need a batch editor, shouldn't take long to do each one separately.
Do you have PI, that would do it ?

I have used FITSwork to edit headers: https://www.fitswork.de/software/softw_en.php

Yes I use PI so could do it that way. That FITSwork looks interesting thanks for the link Michael

I've not used anything to edit FITS headers, but I did use "Bulk Rename Utility" to rename my images. I was using the WBPP 2.0 script in PI and wanted to calibrate each session separately which can be done using the "groups" keyword function. I used the below program to add "Session_1_", "Session_2_" etc. to each evening so that PI knows to group my subs and calibration files accordingly. This worked perfect for me so I imagine it could work well for you, unless you use the FITS headers for something else.
