Use this skill to generate or load a tiny FITS image with astropy.io.fits and summarize the core image and header metadata.
What it does
- Builds a deterministic toy 2D FITS image when no input file is supplied.
- Writes the FITS file to disk when requested and reloads it through Astropy.
- Reports image shape, mean, standard deviation, and a few astronomy-style header fields.
When to use it
- You need a runnable starter for
Telescope image preprocessing. - You want a verified FITS I/O example before scaling to real sky-survey or instrument data.
