FITs to TIFF, why the added offset/pedestal?

Hi all
Version: ImageMagick 6.5.7-0 2009-10-15 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org
I am converting FITs files to TIFF, but am wondering why there appears to be an offset/pedestal added (approx 21,000 by the looks of it). Here is the histogram of the original FITs file.
and here is the histogram of the converted TIFF file
I am just using the default convert without any options, and the verbose output looks like this:
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happenning, or what options I need to enable to prevent the data having this offset added to it??
