Require First Pixel Extension as 0 [minor] #213

Closed ric-evans closed 1 year ago

ric-evans commented 1 year ago

Now, the first pixel extension number must be 0. This is really a placeholder since all pixels over the sky are scanned in the first iteration. In actuality, this could be forced to any number -- talking with @tianluyuan, we settled on 0 since this will make it evident that the number is unique.

Previously, the first pixel extension number had to be 12. This was due to my misunderstanding of the process at the time.
