I was trying to read fits files from Kepler FITS files (Received from this URL https://archive.stsci.edu/pub/kepler/lightcurves/0007/000757076/) using astropy. Below are the set of commands I was trying to read the file:
from astropy.io import fits
fits_image_filename = fits.util.get_testdata_filepath(r'O:\MyWorks\keplar-test\kplr100000925-2009166043257_llc.fits')
But the above command produced this error:
I am not sure how to solve this error. My target is to read keplar data then plot this and/or convert this to CSV.
This: fits.util.get_testdata_filepath(r'O:\MyWorks\keplar-test\kplr100000925-2009166043257_llc.fits')
is not the correct function for opening a file.
You should use fits.open('file.fits')
, or if this is table data, as you imply, Table.read('file.fits')
See the note at the top of the FITS documentation
