Compute phtometric zerpoint values that include a cerrction for image EXPTIME value. In other words, the resulting zerpoint (ZPSEC) is that for a 1-second exposure time. In Apr2020 we added the image type as an input so that a radial position limit could be applied to sources in the vignetting area of acm images.
zpmido_table_values.sh --help
Usage: zpmido_table_values.sh 6 acm N
arg1 - exposure time in seconds
arg2 - image type (acm,pfc,none)
arg3 - run in debug/verbose mode (Y/N)
Current output example:
% zpmido_table_markII 20191022T025524.2_acm_sci.fits ZP
% cat zpmido_table_values.explain
# Col1: ZP [= xmagstan - {xmag30+2.5log(Texp)} ]
# Col2: mag_inst (xmag30+2.5log(Texp)}
# Col3: standard color
% head -5 zpmido_table_values.out
