OHGEO and HGEOM can shift one image to match the coordinates of another.
They do assume that the coordinates of both images are correct.

I am unclear what you actually want to do - have the image at the 
correct coordinates but have those be at some different pixel number 
than currently?  Or do you want to change the coordinate labeling 
assuming that you have it wrong for some reason?  (Optical has suffered 
from that in the past but less so these days.)

There are also OGEOM and LGEOM that do simpler shifts and re-grids.  And 
of course IMAGR can do RASHIFT and DECSHIFT which changes the 
coordinates of the center pixel.
