[AstroPy] Coding in Python to Read/Write a fits file.

[Megan Sosey]

Hi Wayne,

One caveat I forgot to mention, the script
I sent you will transform the JPG (or gif or whatever)
image into FITS images, which you can then look
at in ds9 if you like, however, the data numbers are
not something appropriate to do further analysis with,
they are just the RGB scalings. So if you want to take the
FITS images and do more science analysis on them, you'll
have to rescale the data to something appropriate.

cheers
meg
