    Hey,
    Recently tried to analyse some fits files (generated by PRISM) and ASTAP can't find the focuser postion.
    The header keyword in my fits files is FOCUSADU.
    If someone knows what keyword ASTAP is looking for I can write a python script that modifies my fits files

    Sorry for the late reaction. Normally the keyword FOCUSPOS is used. The unit is steps. FOCUSADU looks more like the ADU so the intensity of the focus star(s) is reported.

    Note in tab "lights" you can set in the popup menu the keyword displayed in the last optional column. But I assume you want to use tab "inspector"

    I'm considering to add a bulk rename option to the ASTAP popup menu but it will be a dangerous command which could destroy all file. Maybe adding new keyword FOCUSPOS with the value of the other keyword FOCUSADU is a better option.

    FOCUSPOS=                60849 / Focuser position in steps                      
    FOCUSTEM=                16.18 / Focuser temperature (Celsius)
