example script

When running the example script in the example folder, I got the following error:

n [2]: run example_filament_profile.py

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/FilFinder/examples/example_filament_profile.py in

With some help from a friend, we figured that the problem is that the function filament_profile expected the pixscale as a variable with a unit, but instead had received the header object. So we changed "hdr" in line 47 to "abs(hdr['cdelt1'])" and it works. This is just a note that perhaps the example script should have this replacement.

Thanks for reporting this @felialves! Your fix sounds right to me and I'll update this in the examples.
