[AstroPy] UserWarning When Opening FITS File

[Asra Nizami]

Hi Vicki,

It seems like this is a known issue as mentioned in
https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues/4398 and you could just ignore
the warning. By the way, I have a Windows 10 machine and I use Anaconda and
it works really nicely!

Best,
Asra
