<div dir="ltr">Hi Mairan,<div><br></div><div>Welcome to yt! We're trying to make yt more accessible to observers, so it's great that you want to try us out.</div><div><br></div><div>You can follow the information in the docs on how to load in FITS data (it seems like you've already got that working OK) here:<br>
<a href="http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/examining/generic_array_data.html#FITS-image-data" target="_blank">http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/examining/generic_array_data.html#FITS-image-data</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>
You can then follow along on how to generate Volume Renderings of your data here:</div>

</div><div>
<br></div><div>Or alternatively use The Cookbook to get an idea of what you can do with your data at this point:</div><div><a href="http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/cookbook/index.html" target="_blank">http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/cookbook/index.html</a><br>
