Contains classes that implement FITS image support for JAI (a FITS codec).
The main class is FITSImage. You can use this class directly, for example:
<p>
PlanarImage im = PlanarImage.wrapRenderedImage(new FITSImage(filename));
<p>
Or in the normal JAI way with: 
<p>
JAI.create("fileload", filename)
<p>
NOTE: The direct method is more efficient, especially for large image files,
since it avoids an extra layer of internal file buffering and uses a 
RandomAccessFile (internally in the FITS I/O code: actually a BufferedFile).
