OK, I went further and declared !P.SUBTITLE=' ', which is acceptable
for now.

You are right but I would badly need astrometrical coordinates on the
place,
I suppose it's a matter of taste. The truth is I would opt for any
other solution
as long as the displaying routines can understand astrometry, I don't
want to
get into the matrix definitions since I'm overploting 3 different
contours from
different images on the original image. It's getting quite complicated
in the end.

Let me answer the easy question first (about the imcontour procedure
in http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ )

If the user doesn't supply a subtitle keyword, then imcontour.pro
displays the coordinates of the image center as the subtitle. To
make this blank, set subtitle = ' ' in the call to imcontour.

Yes, it is possible but it is not easy. You might try just
displaying the distance from the image center rather than absolute
coordinates (set TYPE=0 in imcontour)-- or using a smaller font.
