OK, as a programmer of many years (with limited linux experience) I am ashamed to admit this thing's got me beat. I guess I just don't have the patients I used to for command line operations :-)
I have tried converting to GIF and JPG, this shows the problem. It is the brightness. It seems that when it's converting from FIT to other formats it's using the whole brightness range, not the shaddow & hilight values the CCDSoft loads from the file. If I brighten up the GIF/JPG the stars are visible in a horrible pixilated form.
So, it seems I need a way to convert it to GIF, preserving the shaddow/hilight values. Hmm.. Suggestions?
See attached files. Zip file containts a FIT file.
