Fits Format*

I was wondering if the JPEGS of some of the galaxy photos could be converted in a Fits Format for the Fits viewer? If it is posible could you explain how the conversion can be done?

there was a convertor once here but the link looks quite dead. otherwise, you might try to contact this guy (author of FITS2JPEG): bcotton at nrao.edu.
