✨ DOWNSAMPLE-FITS(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is downsample-fits, a lil tool from the astrometry.net crew (manual section 1, iykyk) and it is literally here to make your FITS images smaller. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

downsample-fits — scale down a FITS image 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

downsample-fits [options] input-file output-file

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

It scales down a FITS image, periodt. Shrink the vibe, keep the file. ✨

And listen — you can use "-" as the output to write to stdout, so if you wanna pipe it somewhere instead of committing to a file, go off. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -s scale — the downsample scale, and yes the default is 2. It's an integer, no decimals, we are not doing fractions here bestie. 🍓
  • -e extension — which extension to read, and the default is 0. 🎀
  • -v — verbose. she talks. she tells you things. 😭

🫶 AUTHOR 🫶
