I have a fits file about an astronomical object. I can plot it like this:
from astropy.io import fits
from astropy.wcs import WCS
hdul = fits.open(fitsfilename)[0]
wcs = WCS(hdul.header)
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,12))
fig.add_subplot(111, projection=wcs)
plt.imshow(hdul.data)
This works, and produces a nice pic:
I would like to add some additional features to this plot, which doesn't work. For example lets try to add a circle to 119°, -67°30'. I expand the code by:
plt.scatter([119],[-67.5],c='r',s=500)
What I get is:
Which is really not what we wanted, the circle is around 118°5', -67°5', not where it is supposed to be (119°, -67°30').
What am I getting wrong, or what is a good fix to this issue?
Note: when I run wcs = WCS(hdul.header), I get a warning:

So this might be relevant; question of how to fix it still holds.
To plot in world coordinates, you need to specify the transform, e.g.:
ax = fig.gca()
ax.scatter([34], [3.2], transform=ax.get_transform('world'))
Generally, you can ignore those FITS header warnings, since none of the FITS header cards there are related to the WCS (afaik).
