In previous versions, DATE-OBS was used for the image data. The current version now uses DATE-AVG, which is not always present in the data. As a result, annotations do not work. Where can I change the setting back to DATE-OBS?
It will switch depending on the information in the FITS header. If DATE-AVG conversion fails it will alter using DATE-OBS automatically (+exposure/2. )
Your file is containing keyword DATE. The version you are using thinks it is DATE-AVG but will correct it later by using DATE-OBS+ exposure/2. The new version will not do that andl ignore immediately the keyword DATE if DATE-OBS is available . That is the modification I added yesterday.
But your version should work. Does it annotate 144p/Kushida?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Okay your correct that version 2025.08.07 doesn't work with keyword DATE='10/08/25' in the header. I tested a version from a month ago but after that made changes for DATE-BEG and DATE-END spoiling reading DATE='10/08/25' behind it. There about 8 or 9 versions of keywords for DATE to read which is to blame on programmers ignoring conventions and standards (:.
