PinPoint FITS Keywords

PinPoint makes it easy to manage the contents of the FITS header of your images. Most of the supported FITS header fields are represented by PinPoint properties. For example, you can set and change the FITS INSTRUME field via the Plate.Camera property.
DC-3 Dreams has applied its best efforts to support FITS keywords that are in "common use" in both the amateur and professional communities. Unfortunately, there are no formal standards.

The following table lists the FITS keywords that PinPoint supports and the corresponding Plate properties for each. Items with no hyperlinks are constant in the FITS header.
