TerryMcK Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 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.

teoria_del_big_bang Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 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 ? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I have used FITSwork to edit headers: https://www.fitswork.de/software/softw_en.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 Yes I use PI so could do it that way. That FITSwork looks interesting thanks for the link Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_ Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 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. https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
