Fits header problem when using calibration script
« on: 2013 January 06 10:18:57 »
Hello All,

I have been taking a lot of calibration files whilst the weather has been poor.
To do this I use Maxim DL and a sky flats plug in.
When I use the script to calibrate my images in Pixinsight  I get a notice coming up when I click the check box in the script to check everything is ok. This box says I don't have the filter or the binning right for the light frame I am calibrating.
If I open within Pixinsight the flat and manually edit the fits header and save it, it works as it should within Pixinsight.
I know the problem is not with Pixinsight but having to go and open all my flats and ammend the values will be tedious. Is there a quicker way or is there a later version of the script which will overcome the problem. I seem to remember is v1.22.
As I say it's not a Pixinsight problem but anyone have a slick way of editing the fits header.

I will email the author of the maxim DL plugin as well to inform him of the problem.

Thanks in advance
