/** VMC Level 3 DATA products can be opened using Python. The 
‘Astropy’ library is required.

VMC Level 3 DATA products can also be opened using DS9, a free 
software for astronomical images which can also be used for opening 
VMC FITs data products. When opening the files, DS9 takes the first 
layer of the FITs file (the calibrated layer), and detects that it 
contains three dimensions (more than one colour channel). DS9 then 
opens a "Cube" window to handle the three dimensions. In the menu 
"Axes order", the user must select "2 3 1", and then the first 
channel (red) appears in the viewer. In the "Cube" window, it is 
possible to switch the channel. Once the image is in the viewer, 
several operations can be performed, including exporting to an image 
format.

VMC Level 3 BROWSE products should be readable to normal image 
programmes such as the following:
- Photos for Windows
- Preview/Apple Photos for Mac
