Telescope name in fits header

I have noted intermittantly that instead of listing the telescope (e.g. BSM-HQ) for individual AAVSOnet images via VPhot, the fits header will simply say "Celestron>CGEM."  When this happens, I do not know which transformation coefficients to use, so those data are reduced  and submitted to the AID untransformed.  In addition, it would be very handy to have the current transformation coefficients for all of the AAVSOnet telescopes available in a single location on the AAVSOnet tab from our web site.  I hope these comments are useful and appreciate input and advice.

Thanks,

telescope name

Hi Dave,

Every time that ACP gets updated, it seems to reset the telescope name.  Thanks for pointing out that the telescope name is not correct; I'll reset it again.
