Kinda OT, but does anyone know of a program that will read and list the fits header information from many multiple files at the same time and display them in a spreadsheet sort of format?
It would be useful to quickly check and be sure that the exposure times are all the same, the image scale is right, along with other parameters. Sure, you can put most of this in the file name but that gets pretty lengthy and cluttered.
I’m not aware of a readymade software, but it would be pretty easy to do your own Python script for the job using AstroPy or something.
OK, a little playing in PI and I found a script that does something like this. It defaults to just frame type and temp and exposure time but using their java editor it is simple to add other fits parameters, even for those not that familiar with java. Here I added focal length and sampling. The default script is called “Fits Keywords” and is under the scripts/utilities menu…
