Each capture is saved as a FITS file (or compressed `.fit.gz` to save some disk space), enclosing the image itself (grey-scale) and a **header** with relevant metadata, also automatically produced by the Freeture software.
|
|
|
Captures can be open, visualized and saved as bitmap images with the [PRISMA Widget](PRISMA Widget).

Captures are usually oriented with the North direction corresponding to the negative ordinate axis (downwards, -y) and the East direction to the positive ordinate axis (rightward, +x).
|
|
|
In the analysis process, captures are rotated counterclockwise by 90°, to match the reference frame with the North direction corresponding to the positive abscissa axis (+x) and the East direction to the positive ordinate axis (+y).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The FITS header enclosed in each capture file lists the relevant metadata of the acquisition, such as time, coordinates, exposure time and others.
|
|
|
An example of such header for the example capture by the ITPI01 - Pino Torinese camera is given below.
|
|
|
Among all these keywords, the ones that are mandatory for the PRISMA pipeline are:
|
|
|
- `DATE-OBS`: the acquisition date and time (UTC);
|
|
|
- `EXPOSURE`: the exposure time of the capture (s);
|
|
|
- `TELESCOP`: the name of the station.
