sky2xy - Compute X Y from RA Dec using WCS in FITS and IRAF image files
Synopsis
sky2xy [-vbjg] file.fts ra1 dec1 ... ran decn
or
sky2xy [-vbjg] file.fts @listfile
Description
sky2xy (pronounced sky-to-X-Y) is a utility for getting the image coordinates of a set of world coordinates in a FITS or IRAF image. World
coordinate system (WCS) information in the image header describes, in a standard way, the relationship between sky coordinates and image
pixels. This information is used by the program to transform image right ascension and declination sky coordinate pairs to image coordinate
(X,Y) pairs. The program prints the coordinates at the same system as is given in the image header, but future versions will allow trans-
formations to B1950/FK4, J2000/FK5, ecliptic or galactic coordinates. Input and output files in the Starbase format will eventually be
allowed.
Options-b B1950 (FK4) input
-e Ecliptic longitude and latitude input
-g Galactic longitude and latitude input
-j J2000 (FK5) input
-g Galactic longitude and latitude input
-v More descriptive output
-z Use AIPS classic projections instead of WCSLIB

imusa2 - Find USNO-SA2.0 stars in FITS or IRAF image files
Synopsis
imua2 [options] FITS or IRAF file(s)
Description
Search USNO-SA2.0 Catalog within the area described by the world coordinate system in an image header. This is a link to imcat rather than
a separate executable.
Options-b [<RA> <Dec>]
Output in B1950, optional new image center in B1950 (FK4) RA and Dec
-h Print heading, else do not
-j [<RA> <Dec>]
Output in J2000, optional new image center in J2000 (FK5) RA and Dec
-m [<bright magnitude>] <faint magnitude>
Limiting catalog magnitude(s) (default none, bright -2 if only faint is given)
-n <num>
Number of brightest stars to print
-p <scale>
Initial plate scale in arcsec per pixel (default 0)
-s Sort by RA instead of flux
-t Tab table to standard output as well as file
-u USNO catalog single plate number to accept
-v Verbose listing of processing intermediate results
-w Write tab table output file imagename.cat -z Use AIPS classic projections instead of WCSLIB; use CD matrix or CDELT instead of poly-
nomial solution.
