Montage CoverageCheck failing #1

Closed simoneriggi closed 4 years ago

simoneriggi commented 4 years ago

mCoverageCheck in old Montage version (<6) misses entries in table produced with mImgtbl utility. Issue is likely due to blank spaces inserted before the first column field (3 given when 2 expected?). This behavior seems to be fixed in Montage v6.

We are having trouble with VGPS. mCoverageCheck fails so no cutouts are extracted for this survey. We tested SGPS and works fine.

Is the issue related to WCS header in VGPS? In case send me a log.

Finally, we discovered that the problem is related to the number of axes in the header. Apparently mCoverageCheck is not able to handle files with NAXIS > 2. It seems to be a design decision, as they say in "Supported File Formats" that it only works with 2D images: http://montage.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/supported.html.
