RS to FITS Conversion: FAQ
What are RS files?
RS is part of a group of formats called Sun Raster Images, developed by Sun Microsystems for use on its UNIX platforms. Similar formats include RAST, RAS and SUN. Files with the RS extension contain bitmaps that were created or processed on workstations or servers developed by Sun Microsystems. They are considered rare and are probably difficult to open via regular image viewers.
What are FITS files?
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
