IMWCS DSS: Telescope Image Header Before WCS Fit

[Image] Before Fit: [Image/GSC] [Map/GSC] [Image/DSS] [Map/DSS] [Header]
[Stars]__ After Fit: [Image/GSC] [Map/GSC] [Image/DSS] [Map/DSS] [Header]

The nominal WCS uses the image dimensions, the telescope pointing direction, and a nominal plate scale shown in bold type.
