FITS Header: Camera Angle Rotation - please include

Improve101

Hi guys,

Whether you have a ZWO CAA or not, it would be very handy to have the Rotation Angle recorded in the FITS Header data. We have everything else, Focal Length, RA, DEC, and the missing component, is the Rotation Angle.

Id like to be able to extract FITS Header data, and see what angles are MOST common across the entire nights imaging, to then choose the Reference Frame that all my processing will be based upon, as it has the most data.

Can we get Rotation Angle added to the FITS Header please?

Improve101 Thank you for your suggestion. We have recorded similar requirements and it is in our future plans.

I thought this was included already as ASIAIR is able to tell me when I go back to a previous image (with Goto) that the rotation is different, but apparently it's not in the FITS header.

Great suggestion. +1 for me.
