BAIT: guimage command

DESCRIPTION

guimage takes a picture of exposure time specified by the time flag (default: 0.1 second), and writes the file guimage.fts in the working directory, unless over-ridden by the outfile= switch. The telescope coordinates and the location of the guider (in mm.) are written in the FITS header if the notel keyword is not present.

outfile=xxx -writes the image into the file xxxx.fts

box=boxno - writes out image only in the XVista style box.

notel - stops the telescope and stage information from being recorded in the FITS header.

verbose - more printout

dark - to make exposure without opening shutter.
