To combine two FITS images in Python using Astropy, users should first familiarize themselves with how to open and load FITS files, as outlined in the Astropy tutorials. Once the data is loaded, various array manipulations can be performed to combine the images effectively. For homework-related inquiries, it's recommended to post in the designated "Homework" section for more tailored assistance.
