Collect DSS image and supporting photometric catalogs to a local directory names ./Store_DSS. At this time we collect USNO and PS1 photometry.

  
% dssbase --help

% dssbase 10:47:49.90 +12:34:57.0 2.5 8.0 19.0 20.5 N

Usage: dssbase 10:47:49.90 +12:34:57.0 2.5 8.0 19.0 20.5 Y
arg1 - Ra J2000 in sexigecimal
arg2 - Dec J2000 in sexigecimal
arg3 - Radius of DSS image in units of arcmin (i.e. half the size of image side)
arg4 - Radius of catalog queries in units of arcmin 
arg5 - USNO-B1.0 R2MAG limit  
arg6 - PS1 faint g mag limit  
arg7 - run in debug/verbose mode 

There are two other routines that are key to dssbase. The first (dss_store_markII) is contained with in dssbase, and it is the routine that make the unique basenames for the new DSS data files and stores them in a local directory named Store_DSS. The second (dssbase_run) is a wrapper for dssbase. It operates on a list of Ra,Dec values. The user specifies the size and magnitude limits that are to be used for each position in the list. The collected data are stored in the ./local_red subdirectory.

  
Usage: dss_store Y 
arg1 - run in verbose mode (Y/N)

Usage: dssbase_run table_onsky_sets.RADEC 2.5 19.0 20.5 Y       # Not updated yet!!!! 
arg1 - list of RamDec in sexigecimal format 
arg2 - Radius of sky area in units of arcminutes 
arg3 - USNO-B1.0 R2MAG limit  
arg4 - PS1 faint g mag limit  
arg5 - run in debug/verbose mode 

Below I show a typical data structure created with a run of dssbase_run.
