Error opening "Some" Fit images
« on: 2017 February 20 15:17:40 »
Evening all,

Tonight I decided to look through some old images I took back in 2014 but have noticed that some do not open in Pixinsight !!!!   I get the following error message

*** Error: PCL FITS Format Support: Unable to open FITS file: E:/Astro images NEW/2014 images/m42/M42-002Ha.fit
CFITSIO error message stack:
01 : Extension doesn't start with SIMPLE or XTENSION keyword. (ffrhdu)

10:41:34 | CPugi::SetPasswordBoxSite, Star
03 : ffopen could not interpret primary array header of file:
04 : E:\Astro images NEW\2014 images\m42\M42-002Ha.fit
05 : This does not look like a FITS file.02 : ordBoxMain) HResult: -2147221005 ||
Unable to open file: E:/Astro images NEW/2014 images/m42/M42-002Ha.fit

Any suggestions as my processing skills are much better now than 3 years ago & I would like to re process some.

Have you tried to verify them using the NASA verifier?
