Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. First locate the code that writes FITS headers, then determine which additional metadata is needed for Equatorial files reporting reference frame G; done means the headers contain the intended metadata and the result is double-checked for the next release.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

some files, even if in Equatorial, say reference frame is G in the FITS file.
