[Issues] Error loading header from

[John P. McFarland]

Hi Philippe,

This error has to do with how the object names are constructed for new 
CoaddedRegriddedFrames.  To add more description, all the object names of 
the frames that went into the CoaddedRegriddedFrame are concatenated into 
one long object name.  It appears that Eclipse (actually qfits) has a 
problem with this when the length of the entry is 70 characters or greater. 
In this case, a CONTINUE card is added which Eclipse apparently cannot 
handle properly.  I do believe that the original header is written by 
pyfits.  Indeed, pyfits has no problem opening such a header.

We will work to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Cheers,


-=John
