IRAF_image_type

msumastro.header_processing.patchers.IRAF_image_type(image_type)

Convert MaximDL default image type names to IRAF

Parameters

image_typestr

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.
