💖 AMBER_RAW_TO_FITSIMAGE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to amber_raw_to_fitsimage(7) — one of the little recipe pages from the amber recipes collection. she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "lowkey does one thing and does it well". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

amber_raw_to_fitsimage — the AMBER raw data display recipe. literally what it says on the tin: raw goes in, pretty pictures come out 🌈

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

esorex amber_raw_to_fitsimage [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. one .sof file, some options if you're feeling fancy, and EsoRex does the rest 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the main purpose of this recipe? she takes the imaging sections of an amber raw file and converts them into a fits-cube and fits-images that show the 5 channels. iconic behaviour, no notes ✨

and here's the slay part: this recipe can process all amber raw files that have a DATA column in the IMAGING_DATA extension — which, bestie, is most of the amber raw files. so you don't need to hand it any special classification tag in the SOF. she just knows. main character energy fr fr 👑

but — and this is important — the SOF should include only one amber raw file. one. single. uno. don't be greedy 💀

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

heads up! you can make a configuration file holding these options, along with suitable default values. the details are in whatever esorex --help tells you — go ask her, she knows 💖
