Grover-Server - Fits Image Extractor

Grover allows you to visualize your fits image files as well as provide the metadata contained within each file:

• Visualize and store fits files + images
• Convert extracted images to videos and mosiacs
• View metadata extracted from file

Usage

Known Issues

• Handling of fits file images with floating point bitpix value (-32, -64) renders a insufficient image. For now use fits files with only integer based bitpix values
• Large fits file handling crashes the client
