A workhorse routine designed to review and update FITS image files. The script was designed primarily to fix-up WCS headers in sets of images (mostly acm and pfc images). This code presently does these things in a sequential progression:

1. Summarizes general header information
2. User can view and reject images from further use.
3. Allows user to set wcs fiducial (crpix,usno_identify)
4. Headers revised with rough WCS.
5. Final inspection and treatent with wcs_revise.
6. Runs approved images through imgcat0 to get initial catalog.

At the end of a complete run of fits_review, we can perform a simple exercise with any image to verify the processing quality. I also prepared a quick recipe for running a night of data through fits_review I also show how to make a table file for the results and plot various parameters from the images. This procedure uses two useful routines:

% fits_review_table --help  
fits_review_table:
  Build a tbale file using for the fits_review.pass0 from a fits_review run.

% xyplotter_auto --help  
xyplotter_auto:
  Plot data from a table file using a simple command line call 
and minimal interaction. 

Simple example - a qick check after a fits_review run. 
% # I have a list of 220 images  
% wc -l list.all
220 list.all

% # We run the list of image through fits_review in non-interactive mode  
% fits_review list.all N   

% fits_review_table Y
A fits_review Table file was made. 

% xyplotter_auto fits_review hours exptime 1
