NAME

       sextractor - extract a source catalog from an astronomical FITS image

SYNOPSIS

       sextractor image [-c configuration-file]
	      [-parameter1 value1 -parameter2 value2 ...]

       sextractor image_detect image_measure [-c configuration-file]
	      [-parameter1 value1 -parameter2 value2 ...]

       sextractor -d

DESCRIPTION

       SExtractor  is a program that builds a catalogue of objects from an astronomical image. Although it is particularly oriented towards reduc-
       tion of large scale galaxy-survey data, it performs rather well on moderately crowded star fields.
       On Debian systems, sample SExtractor parameter files are installed to /usr/share/sextractor.

   Operation modes:
       -h, --help
	      print this help, then exit

       -V, --version
	      print version number, then exit

       -d, --dump
	      dump a default configuration file

EXAMPLE

       For a minimal sextractor run, without customizing any of the parameters, use

       sextractor file.fits -c /usr/share/sextractor/default.sex -PARAMETERS_NAME /usr/share
