Hi,
I'm having some great trouble currently and am a bit confused too:
wcs = WCS(header)
x,y = wcs.wcs_world2pix(211, -26, 0)
print x,y # 836.316942718 658.26364248
ra,dec = wcs.wcs_pix2world(x, y, 0)
print ra, dec # 31.0 26.0
It seems like world2pix gives me bogus results. I was expecting values
way outside my image area (image size is 4256x2832). Am I doing
something obvious wrong?
The WCS headers can be seen at http://pastebin.com/JrdiL949
Thanks for the help,
Maik
