FITSview is available from the NRAO...it'll convert FITS images to .bmp so
you can run photoshop on them.

I found a free one at http://www.fan.net.au/~eddiet/fitsplug.html

It seems to work OK for simple images.

Newsgroups: sci.astro.fits

A new document describing the FITS Interferometry Data Interchange
format is now available. This describes the format as it is read by
the 15OCT98 version of FITLD and will supercede VLBA Correlator Memo
No. 108.

It is currently in draft form and may still contain errors. If you
find any potential errors, please let me know by electronic mail at
cflatter at nrao.edu.

The document is available in both PostScript and PDF forms and can
be obtained through the web page at

http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~cflatter/FITS-IDI.html

Alternatively, you can obtain the document by anonymous ftp from
ftp.aoc.nrao.edu. The two files are

/pub/staff/cflatter/FITS-IDI.ps         (about 400k)
/pub/staff/cflatter/FITS-IDI.pdf        (about 800k)

would be great to have some sample data online. I in particular would
be curious to see how MIRIAD would handle these datasets. Any experience
yet with the AIPS++ fits reader?

Subject: [$] VisAD Visualization Spread Sheet is available
Newsgroups: sci.astro,sci.astro.research,sci.astro.fits
Sender: owner-fitsbits at kochab.cv.nrao.edu
Precedence: bulk

The Spread Sheet lets you use VisAD to visualize data files and do
simple computations, without any programming.  It is distributed as
part of the VisAD class library available from:

  http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html

The VisAD Spread Sheet requires JDK 1.2 beta 4, and optionally Java3D
if you want 3-D displays.  It also uses Java2D to generate 2-D displays.

Of course, the full flexibility of VisAD is only accessible to
programmers using the class library, but the Spread Sheet is a handy
way to visualize and compute with netCDF, FITS, GIF, JPEG, Vis5D and
HDF-EOS files that does not require any programming.

If you have questions you can get help from the VisAD mailing list.
