Hi,
	What compression programs will provide me with the best
compression ratios for FITS?  FITS in the compressed format do not
necessarily have to be usable, until extraction (decompression).  
I am currently exploring FITSPRESS.

Any info on FITS compression would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Please reply by e-mail.
