From freedman Thu Sep 10 12:40:15 1992 Date: Thu, 10 Sep 92 12:40:09 -0400 From: freedman (Immanuel Freedman) To: wgas@hypatia Subject: IMAGE or BINTABLES extensions ? Cc: ewing@aruba, freedman, kaltenbaugh@aruba, piper@aruba, turpie@aruba Status: RO Colleagues The COsmic Background Explorer project at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center would like to distribute released data in FITS format from the National Space Science Data Center. Would our esteemed colleagues prefer to receive the data in BINTABLES or IMAGE format ? We have determined that IMAGE extensions are more effective than BINTABLES in terms of file size and data access time for our internal use. Thank-you for your replies in advance, Dr. Immanuel Freedman
