cdfp_sky2xy:
  A routine that takes and image and a cdfp catalog as input. The 
Ra,Dec of all targets in the csfp file are extracted and processed 
with the wcstoolsroutine sky2xy using the input FITS image (that must 
have WCS in the header). The resulting list is processed to create a 
file of Xpix,Ypix,iflag. The (Xpix,Ypix) values give the predicted 
image location (in pixels) on the image, and the iflag (integer) value 
indicates whether the target is on the image (iflag=1) or out of the 
image FoV (iflag=0).  


Some of the tools used here are covered in a discussion of USNO+DSS finding charts.
