I don't have any screenshots to share regarding this question but I'll attempt to explain without visual aids. If you look at the header from an image you will see that Prism is calculating Airmass. But if you open up the FITS header EDIT you do not see any Airmass key. Also if you open an image taken with Prism with another software, and look at the FITS header you don't see Airmass. If there a way to force Airmass into the header? Since Prism is a Pro/Am software I have to imagine that you can write in header info but I don't know how? If you are looking at variable stars want to send your results to the AAVSO you need to report the Airmass.
Thanks

Hi all!
Previous buddy's comment is legitimate, I'll add.
All extended fields in saved FITS image are empty.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the blank data. During extended exposure, if you read several times in meteorology, the initial value may be sufficient. The data is inside before closing the image, but there is no finalization.
This little bug seems to have no fix?
Sorry, terrible English is not my language...

I'm not sure on the airmass. The screenshots you showed look to be the locations used for if you have a weather station / monitor hooked up.
I have not found a way to insert these unless I manually do it because I do not own a weather station.
If you own one that's ASCOM compliant I think Prism would insert what it gets from the sensors here.
