'quote' in FITS header causing issue with AAVSO

Post by Keith Shank »

Hello!

I have recently started submitting spectra to the AAVSO and have been made aware of a problem in Demetra and how it formats two lines in the FITS header.

The lines as created are

[JD-OBS '2459780.6416' / JD start observation
JD-MID '2459780.6504' / JD mid observation

these lines have to be edited with FITS editor to remove the ' to

JD-OBS 2459780.6416 / JD start observation
JD-MID 2459780.6504 / JD mid observation

Is it possible to modify Demetra in the next release to change this line to simplify submission to AAVSO?

Thanks

Hello

I removed the quotes for Julian days FITS header keywords.
This will be available in the next release.

Just downloaded the newest LISA version and Thanks the extra quotes are gone from the JD info!
My FITS editor can be put back in the low use folder!!
