JWST Gray Images Download Process

Post by Vaibhav_Kumawat »

Respected Sir/Mam,

I hope this question finds you well. I already setup the all modules of GIMP and G'MP, but I'm encountering some problems after MSAT for JWST. I downloaded all the datasheets in multiple rows and columns in (.csv file) here, I'm not be able to extract those (GRAY images).
May you kindly help in this regard ASAP. I'm looking for your positive response.

Thanking You
Yours Truly
Engineer

The procedure for this project is fairly old, and it may be that there are issues with the data availability. The site noted where you should be able to download the zip files has clearly changed. It sounds like you downloaded files, but I'm not clear what you've downloaded.

For this project, you need Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) files, that you will be able to use in GIMP. These files should be in the zip files you downloaded for the images selected.

Once you have the FITS files, you would then follow the procedure for the linked X-Ray Vision: Seeing Into Space project.

Please let us know more clearly what you have done, what you have downloaded and from where.

Again, it may be that the steps of this project will not currently work due to changes in the related sites, software, or data availability.

You might see if this helps: https://mast.stsci.edu/search/ui/#/jwst ... et=NGC3324
