Good day, I have a question about the utilization of FITS format. I have Mathematica 4.2 for Students and I'm trying to display and analyze those images. Since 4.2 is suppose to have added the FITS format to the list of recognized formats how come I cannot use the standard functions to view and manipulate them? I use image=Import["m22.fits"]; Then Show[image] It does not display anything! I bought the add-on Digital Image Processing (1.1) and again I cannot use any of the functions in that package. In a nut shell: I thought that FITS format could be used the same way a JPEG format or any image (pic) format is used (displayed,manipulated,analyzed). Am I doing something wrong or maybe I did not understand something about this new feature in Mathematica 4.2? Robert Pigeon
