Description

Today I spend some time to explore the possibility of using bqplot for implementation, image from FITS has to be convert to other standard format such as PNG, JPEG for it to work, my question is there better to convert FITS to these format?

My current way of converting it is using pillow.

Research direction

Start by locating the current Pillow-based FITS conversion in the repository and reviewing how the proposed bqplot implementation would consume image data. Compare the conversion requirement with bqplot's supported input formats and define a concrete implementation path; done requires an agreed approach or a scoped follow-up issue.
