PlotSpectra update - V1.5.2

Post by Tim Lester »

The latest version of PlotSpectra is available here: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AvXqhKI5kEGRjEhdaQ6jaj8AHx_L

This version Improves the Fit reader.
- the reference point CRPIX1 is now read and used (no longer assumed to be 1).
- better Handling of Fit files that contain extensions.
- if the Fit file does not provide one dimensional data the reader will attempt to acquire from a binary table extension if one exists.

Hopefully a greater variety of Fit files will be readable.

Thanks Tim - great update.

On another matter, I've been trying to contact you on the likelihood of picking your brains on your echelle design. I have been loosely contemplating something similar (a basic telescope mounted echelle, behind a pre-existing guide module) and left you a couple of private message here some time ago.

I don't suppose you've seen them? Apologies if you have better things to do, or if you didn't receive them.

Thanks Tim, that has done the trick. The wavelengths shown in PlotSpectra now align with those in IRAF.

Thanks again Andrew
