Hi
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to calculate an objects RA and
DEC from the plate solution co-eff's as given in the DSS fits headers.
with the skyview headers its possible to calculate the positons given
CRVAL1,CRVAL2 ,CDELT2,CDELT1 and the NAXIS1,NAXIS2 values ,although it
doesnt appear that simple with the DSS headers. Note: Skyview returns
the DSS headers if the field is small,so in this case i cant work out the
RA-DEC either.
thanks boris
