The Hammer-Aitoff projection (hereafter AIT) is similar to the GLS
case, i.e. it is possible to convert from the old (AIPS) to the new
(CG02) formalism by converting the projection description. But, while
the GLS projection is known to have been used with non-zero
declination reference (hence a new name for the projection), it is
less obvious for AIT. Knowing that both AIPS-AIT and FITS-AIT
formalisms are compatible at
, CG02 have chosen to keep
the same name for the new convention.
