5. FitsArray

The FitsArray object, similar to the Fits object, provides all the necessary data and functionalities for handling multiple FITS files in photometry. It supports everything available in Fits and includes additional methods, such as combine and hselect.

As with Fits, if a method returns a new FitsArray object, it can optionally accept an output parameter. This parameter specifies the path to the output directory as a string, where files will be saved. There is no override option. If the output parameter is not provided or set to None, a temporary directory will be created. The contents of this temporary directory will be automatically deleted when the object is destroyed (__del__).
