FITS Handling

Introduction

The sofia_redux.toolkit.utilities.fits module provides a number of utilities to read, write, and modify FITS files for use with SOFIA data pipeline products. The astropy.io.fits module is used as the main interface for FITS handling operations. Generally, read and write procedures are designed to be as robust as possible, and attempts will be made to fix corrupt data whenever encountered.
