Hi, you can pick up some FITS images from:

http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~simes/tmp/los_alamos.fits.gz
http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~simes/tmp/specular_water.small.float.fits.gz

The first is a 1000x1000x4 byte image. 
The second is a 479x235x3 float image.

I submitted a small bug fix yesterday, and I'll be upgrading the header
info support later today hopefully.

Cheers,

Sy
