Add a command line tool to avoid the need to do this in `ipython`: ```python import AstroPhotography as ap target_wcs_file='eta_car_2560arcsec.fits' cdelt_b=[-1.0/3600, 1.0/3600] crval=[161.3043152, -59.6703346] naxis_b=[2560,2560]ap.util.make_dothead_from_keywords(target_wcs_file, naxis_b, crval, cdelt_b, format='fits', verbose=True,...
