[AstroPy] Opening 2MASS fits file returns all NaN data

[Leonard Burtscher]

Hi Daniel,

Are you sure the image is just NaNs if opened with astropy? When I open your file, I see some nans in the first column, but the rest of the image seems to be OK.

Can you try:
a=fits.open("WASP-99_aH_asky_991014s1130092.fits")
a[0].data[500,500]

It returns 352.42224 on my machine.

Cheers,
Leonard
