Hi!

Using the AsiAir, all my subs are in  .fit file format. I use Photoshop as my main processing tool, but it seems it doesn’t support this format.

Any advice on how to review the subs quickly before stacking?

Thanks!

Dominic

I use ASI fits viewer to review my fits file quickly - I open the histogram, I zoom in to 100% and use the left/right arrow keys on my PC or Mac to browse through the files.

I use QuickFits on my Mac. Fast, auto stretch and nice integration into the OS.

Affinity Photo and GIMP can read .fits files. You could also download the Seti Astro Suite to read them. really, lots of options.

Here's an alternative (my site, explains how to install):

https://remoteastrophotography.com/2022/05/preview-fits-files-using-quicklook-for-windows

It's called QuickLook and you can just hop from file to file in Windows Explorer and it'll show you each image (stretched). I find it great for large datasets.

You can also use it for images and other content. Just tap space on your keyboard to activate it in Windows Explorer, and then hop from file to file.

I find Tenmon excellent for such tasks:

There used to be something called Fits liberator.  Free

I use astroart for stacking which will review fits files but that is paid.
