What is a .fits file?
FITS is the Flexible Image Transport System used in astronomy and scientific imaging for headers, image arrays, and table extensions.
Why is .fits hard to open on a phone?
- Phone file viewers usually cannot interpret FITS headers or image arrays.
- FITS files are often binary and can be too large for casual mobile tools.
- A local HDU, table sample, and image stretch preview helps confirm the observation data without uploading it.
What OpenOnPhone does not do
OpenOnPhone is for quick local inspection. It does not replace the original professional app for editing, conversion, exact layout, formulas, measurements, security review, or full workflow features.
