wcsf
Updated: Feb26,2020

Run the suite of wcs codes on a SINGLE image.

For a less wordy run: 
  echo "Y" > AUTO.mode


% wcsf --help    

Usage: wcsf ./local_red_0/FIXUP/20190217T122456.6_acm_sci.fits 
arg1 - Name of file with list of FITS images (can be full path)
Additional options: 
     -v = print verbose comments 
 --help = view a help document 

The codes that are run are: 
  wcsf_rough list.start $debug
  wcsf_viscat list.start $debug
  wcsf_imgcat list.start $debug
  wcsf_final list.start $gui $debug

NOTE: You can preset parameters with a local WCSF.DEFAULTS file. 
You can run the following to make a generic version of this file:  % wcsf_defaults N
 
For more details and links see wcsf_.

Actaully, the internal codes (wcsf_*) are all set up to operate on lists of images, but after a lot of use I found that we often want to perform the full suite of reduction operations on a single image alone. This is the reason for this routine (wcsf). Note that in Feb2020 I undertook an overhaul of the wcsf_ routines so that they could use dssbase data sets if these are available. These data sets are collected in batch mode, stored in the ./local_red subdirectory, and are discussed in HERE.

Revisions made in late Feb2020

To incorporate the dssbase capabilities and update some of the ds9 gui tools, I have been updating my wcsf_ codes.


 Routines updated:
   basic_fits_info 
     was not finding acm RA,DEC value correctly 
 
   wcsf    
      add -v ocommand line option 

   wcsf_rough  
      add -v ocommand line option 

   usno_identify 
      add -v ocommand line option 

   usno_look 
      add -v ocommand line option 
      *** Use dssbase_locate to identify and use existing DSS data 

   wcsf_viscat
      No significant changes because this uses usno_look_wcs (see 
      below0 and this routine is already pretty fast. 
   
   usno_look_wcs
      Because this code does not use the internet, but make a fast 
      query of the local USNO catalog, I do not change this code.
