DESCRIPTION

sdssfitsfix is a stand-alone program to convert nonstandard FITS image files with unsigned 16 bit integers produced by the SDSS DAQ system into standard FITS files with signed 16 bit integers. The headers are adjusted so SIMPLE=F is converted to SIMPLE=T. The files are converted in place. Files that have already been converted or are not SDSS generated are left untouched. It is probable (although untested) that the converted files can be used in the SDSS pipelines without any changes to the pipelines themselves.

The source code file is

  $ASTROTOOLS_DIR/src/sdss_fitsfix.c
and the binary is
  $ASTROTOOLS_DIR/bin/sdssfitsfix

Questions on this program should be directed to Steve Kent (skent@fnal.gov).
