Dear subscribers Map-L,
With reference to the astronomic subject of FITS and the world
coordinate system, I take pleasure informing you as follows:
It contains an easy recenttly updated program as well as multiple theory
pages and documents:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/mcalabre/WCS/index.html
The FITS "World Coordinate System" (WCS) convention defines keywords and
usage that provide for the description of astronomical coordinate
systems in a FITS image header.
I trust this information is sufficient for your purposes, in case you
require any additional details, please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned.
Yours sincerely,
Cordiali Saluti
