ValueError: Images of type float must be between -1 and 1

I'm trying a simple disk filter applied to a fits file:

from skimage.morphology import disk
from skimage.filters.rank import median
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from astropy.io import fits

#    Open data files for image and mask
hdulist = fits.open('xbulge-w1.fits')
w1data = hdulist[0].data

hdulistmask = fits.open('xbulge-mask.fits')
maskdata = hdulistmask[0].data
mask = 1 - maskdata

w1_masked = np.ma.array(w1data, mask = mask)
selem = disk(5)
filt = median(w1_masked,
                            selem=disk(5),
                            out=None,
                            mask=mask)

plt.imshow(filt)
plt.show()

but this gives me a "ValueError: Images of type float must be between -1 and 1." What's going on?
