Currently KStars supports only monochrome FITS images (1 axis, as they call it). There could technically be N axes I suppose, but one common format in RGB imaging is a 3 axis or 3D cube where each axis represents a colour channel. KStars should support at lease 3 axis FITS data (RGB). Thank you! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load 3D FITS file (File->Open FITS) Actual Results: Notice that only one channel of the image is displayed. Expected Results: An RGB image should be displayed.
On my TODO list
