About DCRAW and FITS Formats

DCRAW is a command-line tool used to decode raw images from digital cameras. It's widely used in astrophotography for processing images captured directly from camera sensors. FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a standard file format used to store scientific images, particularly in astronomy. It's designed to handle large datasets and metadata efficiently. Converting from DCRAW to FITS allows astronomers and researchers to integrate raw camera data into their analysis pipelines and utilize the extensive capabilities of FITS-compatible software.
