FITs Headers in APT

#1

Post by Graeme1858 »


Does anyone know how to get APT to display the FITs header information in the FITs Header dialogue box that opens when you click the Info button at the bottom of the Image tab?

Also, and better still, does anyone know if APT can produce image statistics like PixInsight and SGP do?

I am looking for an accurate median reading for flat frames.

Cheers

Regards

Graeme

I think the best place to ask your questions is with Ivo himself. He usually answers the same day.

Yes, I'll give the the APT forum a go but I thought I would try here first!

I'll post back when I get an answer.

Turns out the FITs infomation wasn't displaying because I was looking at a CR2 file!!!

And it would appear that APT doesn't display image statistics.

I'll stick with the histogram for now.

Graeme

Correction! APT does display image statistics.

The Maximum and Median figures for an image can be displayed in the Pixel Aid window which is opened from the Tools tab.
