✨ GET-WCS(1) ✨

okay so bestie, this is get-wcs from the astrometry.net manual, section 1 (that's the user commands girlies 💅). it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one thing. let's go 🌸

🌟 NAME 🌟

get-wcs — try to interpret an existing WCS header.

like. it tries. it's doing its best 🥺 that's literally the whole job description.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

get-wcs [options] input-file

you give it a file, you maybe give it some options, it goes and reads the WCS header. that's the vibe ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -e ext — Extension number. you wanna point at a specific extension? this is your girl. drop the extension number here 🫶
  • -o file — Output file. where does the result go? you tell it. this is the destination, bestie 📁
  • -t — Force TAN (not SIP). no cap, this one makes it go TAN and not SIP. that's the whole thing. it's giving "pick TAN" energy 💀
