The current version of astscript-radial-profile already has an input option of
position angle which is defined in the pixel axis.

I would like to suggest the orientation of the position angle should be in Sky
coordinates (eg., East is the 0 degree). For example by adding a new
'--pa-mode' option to specify the "mode" (or coordinate system of the position
angle) like below.


astscript-radial-profile img.fits --position-angle=30 --pa-mode=wcs
