## Detailed Description

FITS related functionality for MeasurementSets

See below for an overview of the classes in this module.

### Prerequisite

### Synopsis

The MeasurementSets module handles storage of telescope data in Casacore tables and defines functions to access the data. The MSFits module is an extra layer on top of MeasurementSets to convert a MeasurementSet to and from FITS. There are classes for three FITS formats:

- Conventional UVFits
- IDIFits
- Single Dish FITS

### Motivation

To avoid that package ms package (libcasa_ms) depends on FITS (and cfitsio), all FITS-related MS code is put in a separate package.
