Downloaded and installed in CS but yet to try it.

I've installed it on CS, and it works fine on my Starlight Xpress SXV-H9 images
captured via AstroArt 2. Nice preview feature of the various stretches you can
apply at image load time and some nice actions for creating an RGB image from a
set of gray scales.

Still early days though.

Is there a commercial program free way of getting at Space Telescope
Fits images. I know FITS viewers are available for Linux and (I think) OS X?

Part of the problem is that there are so many FITS viewers and
editors that it is hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Here's a no-nonsense viewer I have used:

If you want to get down and dirty with not just viewing but analyzing FITS:

The FITS Liberator does look very easy to use in comparison to the
above. I am tempted to download the trial version of Photoshop Elements
(111 MB on dial-up) just to check it out.

There are a number of free fits viewers for windows around. I'd
suggest you download fv which is part of the IRAF package. You can
find it he http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/ftools/fv/
