How are they different?

You have changed the size and dimension of your array (by averaging
over the first dimension) so writefits.pro automatically changes the
NAXIS and NAXISi keywords, which must match the size and dimensions of
the stored array. Otherwise, the FITS header should not be changed
by your script. --Wayne
