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.
