Just to chime in, I've been using "image/x-fits" for FITS files containing 2D
images (i.e. NAXIS=2), and "application/x-fits" for FITS files in general.  The
general convention around here has been to use the extension ".fts" for image
files, and either ".fit" or ".fits" for more general FITS files.  Hence, my
mime.types file contains

application/x-fits		fits fit
image/x-fits			fts
