HELP SECTION

RASHIFT
Type:  Adverb (Real array, 64 elements)
Use:   Specifies a change or shift of the Right Ascension (or X)
       coordinate of an image, one per FIELD.  Specifies a shift
       Eastward (smaller X-pixel value) of the map center.
       The actual new center Right Ascension is given by
              RA = RA_0 + RASHIFT(i) / cos (Dec_0)
       where Dec_0 is the declination of the reference point.

       If more than 64 fields are needed use BOXFILE to specify the
       shifts or field centers.  RASHIFT is used only if BOXFILE is not.

Null Value:  NONE  ( 0 => no shift )
