Hello everybody,

I currently work on that. I use cfistio to read FITS files and libast to 
calculate coordinates from FITS header. For now, I can open FITS files 
with multiple extensions, and for all HDU in the file, I can display 
images on the map, using different color maps if it's an image HDU, or 
show table if it's a bintable or asciitable HDU. I also made an 
histogram where we can play with colors.
Before making a patch to show you the result, I need to make some 
optimizations and clean the code.

Regards,
