Technical note

Before you convert FITS to JXL

A scientific camera records 32 bits per pixel, and the signal of interest often occupies a narrow slice of that range, while JXL shows 8. Conversion applies a display mapping, so two acquisitions that look identical afterwards can hold very different underlying intensities. Treat the JXL output as something to look at and publish rather than something to measure. FITS stores pixels without compression loss and JXL does not, so this is a one-way step. Choose a high quality setting, and avoid converting the same file back and forth, because each pass compounds the artefacts.
