Investigating bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=268241 I tried to read some fits file from

Display always display black image :-( where as gimp display correct image

More strange some file like in http://www.wizards-toolkit.org/discours ... f=1&t=7710 display identically on gimp and display

We have a patch for the problem you reported. Look for it in the next point release, 6.4.8-2.

Note, ImageMagick does not automatically normalize the image so for tst0004.fits, the normalize option is required to get the full range of data:
  • convert tst0004.fits -normalize x:
