Following from discussion in !87, Level 1 images are saved as 16 bit integers. When doing any sort of operation on a map, the data type is often converted to double precision. However, it is usually not necessary to save these data in double precision. There should be a gallery example that shows how to convert these maps to single precision and save them.

level 1 images are saved as compressed fits. It would be useful for the example to show how to save a compressed fits file. Though... since it's floating point maybe the savings aren't too significant.

Probably worth showing either way
