Title: FITS header output script ?????
Post by: stevek on 2019 October 17 05:25:33

Hi,
Anyone know of a PI script or tool that can read user defined headers from a set of FITS/XISF files please and output them to a CSV/text/plot?
Batchstatistics script looked ideal but cannot define variables for things like filter position, focus position, temperature etc that exist in the header.  I want to plot some things against temperature to see if there is a linear correlation.

Maybe need to build a Python CLI tool.  Just wondered if I am reinventing the wheel and there is a PI script?

Many thanks, Steve

Actually, you can do it in a roundabout way with FITSKeywords script.

Open the script.  Load the files.  Select the FITS keywords you are interested in.  Then hit FITS.txt and it will generate a text file with the values populated.  A bit of reformatting of this text and then copy and paste into Excel to plot.

Surely must be a better way to plot there and then inside PI.  May look if subframe selector can do it....

Unfortunately none of them works with XIFS. Is there any solution for getting KEYWORDS from XIFS in batch?

Did you select XISF in the file dialog?
