Jasem,

I agree it makes sense, but how do you set it manually?

Paul

In Ekos, above sequence queue there is an icon you click to set such values. Or Directly in INDI Control Panel --> Options

Jasem,

I am unable to find the icon you mentioned in click above the sequence queue. The nearest thing I can see is where you set the observer.

Setting from the INDI Control Panel seems impractical as I would not be able to set it for multiple objects.

I have a similar problem. The object is selected in KStars, the Target field is filled automaticaly with the name of the selected object, but in FITS-file the OBJECT header is Unknown. This behavior begun after compiling and installing newer version of KStars (3.5.8 Stable)

Use scheduler tab where you fill "Target" field that is then put into OBJECT FITS header.

Before update it worked on CCD-tab. Using sequence on this tab is more comfortable for me.

I just pushed a fix for this, should be in v3.5.9

Thank You very much!

Now that this has been addressed can someone suggest a Mac or Unix program that can bulk edit the existing FITS header to add an object name.

Paul

I use ASTAP

Vladimir,

ASTAP is one of my favourite programs but I wasn't aware that it could edit the header for individual files let alone as a batch.

How do you do it?

Paul

1. Open the stack window
2. Load the files needed to edit header.
3. Click the left mouse button to select the first file.
4. Hold Shift and left click on the last file (all files should become highlighted)
5. Right-click any highlighted file and select Change Keyword in Selected Files/Enter Keyword and New Value from the pop-up menu.
6. In the first modal window, enter OBJECT and click Ok.
7. in the second modal window, enter the name of the object and click Ok

This way you can edit any header in FITS-file
