I am starting on making a light curve for a reported Supernova that involves FITS images from five different surveys: SDSS, PTF, Pan-STARRS, KiDS and DECaLS. I have been involved with reporting transients for people who use the citizen science project Galaxy Zoo over several years now. As we are mainly amateurs, we have found the Aperture Photometry Tool by Russ Laher from the ZTF easy enough to use.
Unfortunately, APT does not open FITS files from the KiDS survey as they are 1.4gb big. Thankfully, AstroImageJ does open these files and I have calculated some Apparent magnitudes that help a lot. Thanks again! An example of those KiDS files can be found here:

http://archive.eso.org/dataset/ADP.2019-02-11T13:02:25.702I would like to compare magnitudes that have been found already with AIJ. To start with, I used a frame
from SDSS which went well and ended up by being very nearly the same value that SDSS had come up with.
However, AIJ does not load properly frames from DECaLS or Pan-STARRS. The following are examples:
DECaLS

CCD decam r 547225 S3, 60.0 sec (x,y ~ 186,260)
(decam/CP/V4.8.2a/CP20160606/c4d_160607_014821_ooi_r_ls9.fits.fz [26])
and
Pan-STARRS

rings.v3.skycell.1287.064.stk.z.unconv.fits
specifically
the z-band image "stack 1287.064 z"
Can I do something so they can be opened and used? Is there a fix?
I am running Windows 10 (64bit) and Java 8 update 281 (64bit).
Thanks for your time, Richard.
