help to convert WFPC2 fits files to be viewable by ds9

Hi,

I am having some trouble in viewing WFPC2 files on ds9; so, in the target dataset, I have files like u2nj0105t_c0f.fits, u2nj0105t_c1f.fits, u2nj0105t_d0f.fits, u2nj0105t_pdq.fits, etc. How do I convert them to a mosaic image of the target that I can load up on ds9 to view?

Any help is much appreciated! :)

In the past there used to be a task called WMOSAIC in the HST_CALIB.WFPC package that operated on GEIS format files and would produce a single mosaic you could display. I'm not sure whether this works on FITS files, if not you may want to contact the STScI helpdesk (help@stsci.edu) for more information.
