NAME
Crop - crop regions of a dataset
SYNOPSIS
astcrop [OPTION...] [Crop-identifiers] ASTRdata ...
DESCRIPTION
Crop is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.5. Crop will create cutouts, thumbnails, postage stamps or
crops of region(s) from input image(s) using image or celestial coordinates. If muliple crops are
desired, a catalog must be provided. When in WCS mode, if the cut out covers more than one input image,
all overlapping input images will be stitched in the output.
For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second contains a very
comprehensive explanation of Crop's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of
all the options.
All options and their values:
$ astcrop -P
