Hello everyone

I am trying to input the sky coordinates (RA, DEC) of some optical-detected sources to generate the image coordinates (X, Y) with respect to a reference (RA0, DEC0).
However, radec2xy always raise errors because the input fits file is NOT readable. How to convert an input (RA, DEC) to (X, Y) with respect to a reference (RA0, DEC0)?

Could you please advise?

Hello,

radec2xy only works on event lists, not on images. We suggest re-centre your event list first with radec2xy, then create an image with evtool, which will be centred on the RA/DEC that you use on radec2xy. Further information can be found here:

Let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks, I have solved this.
