Verification reported errors:
HDU 1:
'TFIELDS' card has invalid value '1304'.
Note: astropy.io.fits uses zero-based indexing.
From this it is however not clear at all what is actually going wrong. Perhaps when writing to a FITS table specifically there could be a check on the amount of columns, with a more explicit error message if the table has more than 999 columns.
Same as #3187, writing a table with more than 999 columns to a FITS file yields an error like below
