Fits Utilities

Some tiny tools for handling FITS files

Install

sudo python setup.py install

imhead.py

Utility to read headers from FITS files. It works as Iraf's hselect and imhead longheader=no

This tool is intended to be used from a terminal in order to have easy access to them

Mode of Use:

imhead image.fits keyword1 keyword2 ... keywordN

It is also possible to use wildcards:

imhead *.fits keyword1 keyword2 ... keywordN

To have a quick look of what images are:

imhead *.fits

Future plans

I plan to include some other tools (as needed) that should work as in IRAF, such as:

  1. display
  2. hedit
  3. imstat

If you are interested in one of those let me know.
