1. Fix BUNIT error message for ATLASGAL_Planck. Missing BUNIT. It is likely Jy/beam. Contact someone expert.

2. FIRST. Error message to fix:
   "montage_wrapper.status.MontageError: mSubimage: bad first element number"

mCoverageCheck in old Montage version (<6) misses entries in table produced with mImgtbl utility.
Issue is likely due to blank spaces inserted before the first column field (3 given when 2 expected?).
This behavior seems to be fixed in Montage v6.

Montage performs reprojection of multiple images on a common optimal header. For some reason, during this process, the BUNIT information is lost.

While this is not necessarily a problem if converting all the images to a common unit (Jy/beam), it becomes a critical issue if the conversion option is not set. We end up with images without information about the flux scale.

We need to study this carefully.
