IRAF_image_type¶

msumastro.header_processing.patchers.IRAF_image_type(image_type)[source]¶

Convert MaximDL default image type names to IRAF

Parameters:

image_type : str

Value of the FITS header keyword IMAGETYP; acceptable values are below in Notes.

Returns:

str

IRAF image type (one of ‘BIAS’, ‘DARK’, ‘FLAT’ or ‘LIGHT’)

Notes

The MaximDL default is, e.g. ‘Bias Frame’, which IRAF calls ‘BIAS’. Can safely be called with an IRAF-style image_type.
