About FITS Format
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a standard digital format used to store scientific images, particularly in astronomy. It's designed to handle large datasets and metadata efficiently. Converting BMP images to FITS allows for seamless integration with astronomical software and analysis tools. BMP, while common for general image storage, lacks the specialized features needed for scientific image processing, making FITS the preferred choice for researchers.
