FITS, the Flexible Image Transport System, is the standard astron data format endorsed by NASA and the IAU. It is a raster format designed to store scientific data sets, which consist of multi-dimensional arrays and 2-dimensional tables. The FITS format was developed by NASA and is supported by XnView and fv Desktop Manager.
Support for the 16-bit grayscale is available in Medical Imaging toolkits and must be unlocked using L_SUPPORT_MEDICAL.
