Hello again, Mathematica 4.2 can import FITS files as you all know. It will import files if the extension is FITS or FIT. But I have a full CD with CCD pictures with an extension FTS. Those pictures where taken with CCD cameras and telescopes and are part of a CD included in a book about Astronomical Imaging. I want to Import those pictures in Mathematica to do some processing. If I put "FITS" at the end of my Import, I get the error message of type of file not compatible. If I change the extension from FTS to FITS and try to Import, I get an error message from FITS.exe that does the import. The Header of the files are typical FITS Header. Is there a way to Import those pictures??? Thanks, Robert
