I know ImageMagick well. If convert was working I wouldn't have asked about gimp (I thought I'd mentioned that). There's a bunch of fits images here which display shows as black eagle on black background, but they're fine in gimp. Convert uses the same code for reading as display. > for example. Has worked every daylight minute for me for the last year. You proved that it'll read your kind of jpegs, but unfortunately that doesn't necessarily mean much for reading my fits. Actually it's somewhat funny - fits doesn't seem to have absolute pixel values, so they need to be scaled. gimp gets it right in the default setting, IM needs some serious fiddling, and it doesn't seem to be straightforward. Have a play if you're interested: http://volker.dnsalias.net/nonpub/0902-F-u-0001.fits A non-X11 gimp would still be handy though.
