Okay, that is quite interesting and confirms what I'm seeing in my 2 year old copy of Voyager. How old is your copy?

I ask because I contacted Paul Kanevsky who wrote CCDI. He pointed me to a similar post in the CCDI Forum back in January of 2023. In that post he wrote the following:

"the (Voyager) OBJCTALT keyword is specified without a sign. CCDInspector is following the SBFITSEXT 1.0 standard where the format of altitude, azimuth, etc. requires a + or a - sign in front of the degrees. I went into a FITs editor and changed OBJCTALT and OBJCTAZ in your image to include a + sign in the front, and now CCDI reads these properly."


Interestingly, I looked for the keyword OBJCTALT in images collected in TheSkyX camera add on, not using Voyager, and this keyword doesn't exist in my images. Only the keyword CENTALT is shown. Yet, these images open fine in CCDI. I've asked Paul about that but without any reply yet.

In January 2023 the guy who originally wrote to Paul said he was going to contact Leo at Voyager and try for a fix. That may have happened (or not). I'd certainly update if it is fixed...otherwise I didn't see a pressing need after looking over the change logs.

Thanks for your post!

Peter
