I'm not sure how to deal with the timing out issue. The point of this tutorial is to create an extra-large FITS file, so several of the operations to indeed take a bit of time, and can't really be modified not to.

@embray Would you be willing to review this PR? I believe you were the author of the build-big-fits-file gallery example I built it off of and reference in the description (which I realized has now moved location, so I will update that).
