Bill and others,

The only pattern that I've discerned is that "larger" files aren't being
renamed. I tried importing several images of M34 of various sizes, starting
with the default value of 20.1x20.1 arcminutes, and decreasing in size. I
was able to successfully download images of 5x5 arcminutes or smaller without
renaming to a fits extension; anything larger didn't seem to work without
renaming.

I don't know if this helps, but I thought I'd pass on my experiences. Thanks.
