About ARW and FITS Formats
ARW is a raw image format used primarily by Sony Alpha cameras, containing unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor. FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a standard file format widely used in astronomy for storing, managing, and analyzing astronomical images. Converting from ARW to FITS allows astronomers and researchers to utilize specialized software and tools designed for astronomical data processing and analysis. This conversion is crucial for tasks like calibration, stacking, and detailed image analysis, enabling deeper insights into celestial objects and phenomena. The FITS format supports metadata essential for astronomical observations, including date, time, telescope information, and exposure details.
