Hello,
I am developing the INDI driver supported for QHYCCD. Recently, I confused about the problem when I use the INDI Control Panel to get a picture,a dialog popped up which is display "Could not open file /tmp/kde-root/fitsXFW825.tmp(fits_get_img_param).Error 1st key not SIMPLE XTENSION" :(
Following is a Terminal report:
FITSIO status = 252: 1st key not SIMPLE or XTENSION
Extension doesn't start with SIMPLE or XTENSION keyword. (ffrhdu)
ffopen could not interpret primary array header of file: 
/tmp/kde-root/fitscF3809.tmp
This does not look like a FITS file.
Could you help me?
Thanks!

I found some information for programmers on page 6 CFITSIO Error Status Codes
Also, you can check your image_name.fits with FITSVERIFY

On the other hand, look at this page .
You can try my open project Astronomy Linux

Looks like the FITS file got somehow corrupted. I can capture fine with QHY5II here. Btw, is Lzr is in development? I sent him a couple of emails but didn't get any reply. Should I contact you instead?
