🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

[-v][-a degrees][-p scale][-b ra dec][-j ra dec][-s nx ny][-i file]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Make dataless FITS image header files 💅 — that's the whole gig, no pixels, just the header skeleton, iconic.

[-x x y] file.fits ...

and then, one by one, here is the entire menu of options, no skipping, no gatekeeping:

• -a num — initial rotation angle in degrees (default 0) 🎀
• -b ra dec — initial center in B1950 (FK4) RA and Dec ⭐
• -d — set CDELTn, CROTAn instead of CD matrix 🌈 (no argument on this one, she just does her thing)
• -g lon lat — initial center in Galactic longitude and latitude 🌌
• -i file — read image from a binary file 📂
• -j ra dec — initial center in J2000 (FK5) RA and Dec ✨
• -o num — output pixel size in bits (FITS code, default=0) 🔢
• -p arcsec — initial plate scale in arcsec per pixel (default 0) 📐
• -s num num — size of image in x and y pixels (default 100x100) 📏
• -t proj — set FITS CTYPE projection (default TAN) 🧚
• -v — verbose 🗣️
