I do at least in part:
1. Your computation for FSHIFT(1) included erroneously a cos(dec) term.
2. The shifts in your header are not 0, just not big enough to print
with this inadequate format (the code prints nothing when they are both
0). Do a GETHEAD with KEYW = 'XSHIFT' and 'YSHIFT' to see what is in
the header already. I predict ~0 for X and not zero for Y.
