Run the dssbase routine on a list of positions to obtain DSS images and USNO and PS1 photometry lists (in csfp format). In this improved version, there are two modes of operation: one where the search radius and mgnitud limits are ready on the command line (and are fixed for all positions), and one where these quantities are read in the input file along with each sky position. The first mode is set up for collecting many data sets for positions of images with a fiexd size (i.e. a night's worth of acm images). The second mode is for collecting data sets for images of different sizes and depths.

This code can be run in two basic modes. The first mode is good for cases where we want to list the Ra,Dec of many images of the same size and depth. In this case we use fixed search radius and magnitude limits. In the second mode, we read all 5 arguments for each poisition in the input list. In this case the value of arg5 must be "list". This is more versatile and lets us use one run to collect data files for images of different sizes and depths.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mode 1 = command line mode We use a list of Ra,Dec (in sexigecimal format) and specify the other parameters (radius, R2mag, gmag) on the command line. In this case the arg5 value can be any string except "list". An example: [sco@mcs S]$ cat 20191018T024545.3_acm_sci.radec 19:22:53.458 +53:19:26.81 08:32:43.458 +34:20:26.81 [sco@mcs S]$ dssbase_run_markII 20191018T024545.3_acm_sci.radec 2.5 8.0 19.0 21.5 none N ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mode 2 = list mode We use a list of Ra,Dec,Radius,R2MAG,gmag for each image. The arg5 parameter must have a value of "list". [sco@mcs S]$ cat list.ALL # lines of ra,dec,radius,radiusC,R2mag,gmag 19:22:53.46 +53:19:26.8 2.5 8.0 19.0 21.5 10:47:49.90 +12:34:57.0 12.0 8.0 15.0 16.0 [sco@mcs S]$ dssbase_run_markII list.all none none none none list N -------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the mode2 example above I treat an acm image and a PFC image. The values shown for each are fairly useful for most cases. We could use a lagrer, deep field for the PFC if we desired, but then catalog sizes might get quite large for fields at low galactic latitudes.
It should be noted that as each data set is gathered for each position, an entry is depositited in the file ./local_red/Store_DSS/MasterList. The contents of this file and the images stored in ./local_red/Store_DSS is shown here:
