[fitsbits] Viewing .fts flies

[William Thompson]

The SOHO project tended to use the convention where the .fts extension was used 
for simple FITS image files, while .fits was used for more complicated FITS 
files such as binary tables.

You may need to tell ds9 to turn off WCS.  It may be getting confused by the 
fact that solar images are scaled in arc seconds instead of degrees.
