    Fitsio provides an easy to use object-oriented API including
    providing a Numpy interface to FITS files read from CFITSIO. It
    allows direct access to the columns of a FITS binary table which can
    be useful for reading large fits files. Compared to astropy.io.fits,
    this package is closer to the underlying cfitsio library.
    Fitsio also exposes a microlanguage (implemented in CFITSIO) for
    making efficient SQL-like queries of tables (single tables only
    though–no joins or anything like that).
