+Description: Nemo extension for FITS files
+ A Nemo extension that provides an "Image" tab
+ in the file properties dialog for FITS files commonly used in astronomy.
+ .
+ The extension displays metadata from FITS headers including:
+  - Image dimensions, colour mode, and data type
+  - Object name and observation details
+  - Telescope and instrument information
+  - Date of observation and exposure time
+  - Filter, Bayer pattern, and coordinate system information
+ .
+ A live preview with toggleable auto-stretch is shown in the properties tab.
+ The auto-stretch setting is saved persistently per user.
+ .
+ A thumbnailer is also provided, supporting greyscale and RGB colour images,
+ with auto-stretch applied by default.
