My CCD records the Target RA in decimal degrees (not hours) causing the DPCC module to calculate incorrect altitudes + azimuths (airmass, J2000 positions, etc.) Is there a way to tell DPCC the target RA from the FITS headeris in decimal degrees?

Extract of FITS header:

33 RA 165.7209568 [deg] Telescope pointing RA                     R
34 DEC 18.66424214 [deg] Telescope pointing DEC                   R

Log extract from DPCC

    Observatory name "Custom Lon, Lat, and Alt entry" manually selected
    Target coordinates = 21:43:05.484 +18:39:25.39 (Epoch of Observation) (from FITS header RA and DEC)
    JD = 2457871.613519 (mid-exp)
    HJD = 2457871.611227 (mid-exp)    (correction = -3.2991 minutes)
    BJD(TDB) = 2457871.612031 (mid-exp)    (correction = -2.1415 minutes)
    Altitude = -26.91 (mid-exp)
    Azimuth = 28.84 (mid-exp)
    Hour Angle = -10.20 (mid-exp)
    Zenith Distance = 116.91 (mid-exp)
    Airmass = -1.0000 (mid-exp)
    Bias corrected with mbias.fits
    Dark corrected with mdark.fits and exposure time scaling factor 10.0/10.0=1.0
    Flat corrected with mflat.fits
