What does it do?

dbFit is a script that extrapolates in batch the fitsheader from astronomical images and a gui interface (in progress)

How to use the batch?

on linux

open the terminal:

python ${workspace}/dbFit/src/fits.py -i $image -o $csvname > $logfile

on windows

open the command prompt:

python c:\%workspace%\dbFit\src\fits.py -i %image% - o %csvname%

sort of... (never used on windows, let me know!)

the above command creates a csv named $csvname with all the fitsheaders of the astronomical image found in directory $image and log the operation in the log $logfile

How to use the GUI

probabily it's useless yet :)

Requirements

you should install python (version 2.7 or 3 should work fine!) and the python library that's responsible for reading the fitsheader: pyfits. You could install it with pip:

pip install pyfits

For the GUI you should install PythonCard and execute:

python ${workspace}/dbFit/src/main.py
