NAME

       naco_util_img_std_cat - Standard star catalog creation

SYNOPSIS

       esorex naco_util_img_std_cat [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       naco_util_img_std_cat -- Standard star catalog creation.

       Convert ASCII-file(s) to a FITS standard star catalog.

       This recipe generates a FITS standard star catalog for imaging from one or more ASCII-files.

       Each line in the text file must have 4+8 fields separated by white-space.

       The first field is the star name, e.g. ´HD108903´ which will be stored in a table column labeled ´STARS´.

       The next field is the Right Ascension [degrees] which will be stored in a table column labeled ´RA´.

       The Right Ascension must be non-negative and less than 360.

       The next field is the Declination [degrees] which will be stored in a table column labeled ´DEC´.

       The Declination must be within the range -90 to 90.

       The next field is the spectral type which will be stored in a table column labeled ´SP_TYPE´.

       The 8 next fields are the magnitudes for the 8 supported image filters.

       Unknown magnitudes must be indicated by the value 99.0.

       The  filename  (without  path)  of  the  ASCII file will for each star be added in a table column labeled
       ´CAT_NAME´.

       The 8 filter names are hard-coded in the recipe.

       Lines beginning with a hash (#) are treated as comments.

       The files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged: NACO-ASCII-file IMG_STD_ASCII

OPTIONS

       Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these  options,  along  with  suitable
       default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
