Source extrator parameters?

[Carrie Nugent]

Hi all,

Astrometry.net does an excellent job of excluding artifacts from my images. Can you point me to the source extractor parameter file, so that I can adapt it for another purpose?

Many thanks,
Carrie

That's kind of funny, imo.

We create a .CONV file containing:

CONV NORM # 5x5 convolution mask of a gaussian PSF with FWHM = 2.0 pixels.

0.006319 0.040599 0.075183 0.040599 0.006319

0.040599 0.260856 0.483068 0.260856 0.040599

0.075183 0.483068 0.894573 0.483068 0.075183

0.040599 0.260856 0.483068 0.260856 0.040599

0.006319 0.040599 0.075183 0.040599 0.006319

and set "-FILTER_NAME thatfile.conv" when running source-extractor

Other than that, we also create a parameter file, with

X_IMAGE

Y_IMAGE

MAG_AUTO

FLUX_AUTO

and everything else is just SE defaults.

cheers,

dustin
