I want to do photometry of a dusty region #204

smartrittik commented 6 months ago

I am interested in doing photometry on my dust region model and plan to use DS9 for this purpose. To facilitate this analysis, I need to generate a FITS file that incorporates a coordinate system, specifically either J2000 or Galactic coordinates. Could you advise on whether this is possible and, if so, detail the process for achieving it?

SKIRT does not support adding coordinates to the generated FITS files, and I have no experience with doing this afterwards. Perhaps you can do this using the python package astropy, which has facilities to work with various coordinate systems and for reading and writing FITS files.
