Hi all,
Last night I had a great night shooting,I shot 66 subs of three objects!
Here is the problem I have ran into.I acquired in ccdsoft and saved as fits like I always do and then open in ccdops for some hot pixel removal.At this point I usually open in Images Plus for calibration and processing.

On all my subs from last night when I try to open in IP I get an error message saying can not open fits image,may be non standard compressed image cwy
I have tried to resave an image as a fits and still get the same message.
If I convert to Tiff or SBIG format I can open in IP.
When I try to convert a TIFF or SBIG to a fit in IP I get an error, can not convert message :S
I can open all my other fit files in IP except those from last night so I think it is the writing of the files that is the problem,though I am not sure.
I have installed Photoshop CS2 since last time I shot,other than that all is the same.

I sure would like to open these as fits files for calibration in IP.
If you have a solution or suggestion I would be grateful for the help smile

Thanks,Jason

What version of CCDSoft are you using. There were a couple of updates that broke the Fits files, so only ccdsoft would read them.
Try updating CCDSoft to the latest version, reopen the fits files and resave them. This worked for me when I had a similar problem.

Jason,

Have you contacted Mike? I had similar problems just a few weeks ago and the latest verions of IP (2.80) solved the problem.

On another note, I also had a problem updating to the latest drivers for CCDOPS v 5.41 (not that you're using that). Tech support contacted me just last week but I wasn't able to fix the problem at that point in time since I wasn't at home.

Jason,

Have you posted to the IP Yahoo Group?
