Purpose
The obscomment command allows an observer to add comments to the header cards in the primary header of a given run FITS
file.
Usage
obscomment [-h] run comment
adds the comment to the FITS file with the given run number
Example
obscomment 1234567 'Add your comment here'
adds the comment 'Add
your comment here' to the FITS file in the obsdata directory with run
number 1234567
Notes and caveats
-
The run FITS file must be present in the current obsdata directory.
-
The run FITS file must be less than one hour old.
- The comments are added to the FITS files with header cards
'OBSCOMM1' to 'OBSCOMM9' in the primary header. Each comment header
card can accept 68 characters of comment. If the comment is longer than
68 characters, the comment will be spread across subsequent comment
header cards up to a maximum of 612 characters.
- Use of this command will overwrite any previous comments in the OBSCOMM header cards.
