Viewing FITS image stack

October 14, 2019

The FITS data file format is used in astronomical imagery. Two of the easiest ways to view FITS file image stacks with standalone programs are HDFView and NASA FV.

While FV has utilities and a UI more oriented to astronomical uses, HDFView is a generally useful tool to view HDF5, HDF4 and FITS files.
