.SH SYNOPSIS

[OPTIONS] FILE.sof

.SH DESCRIPTION
naco_util_img_std_cat \-\- Standard star catalog creation.
.PP
Convert ASCII\-file(s) to a FITS standard star catalog.
.PP
This recipe generates a FITS standard star catalog for imaging from one or more ASCII\-files.
.PP
Each line in the text file must have 4+8 fields separated by white\-space.
.PP
The first field is the star name, e.g. \'HD108903\' which will be stored in a table column labeled \'STARS\'.
.PP
The next field is the Right Ascension [degrees] which will be stored in a table column labeled \'RA\'.
.PP
The Right Ascension must be non\-negative and less than 360.
.PP
The next field is the Declination [degrees] which will be stored in a table column labeled \'DEC\'.
.PP
The Declination must be within the range \-90 to 90.
.PP
The next field is the spectral type which will be stored in a table column labeled \'SP_TYPE\'.
.PP
The 8 next fields are the magnitudes for the 8 supported image filters.
.PP
Unknown magnitudes must be indicated by the value 99.0.
.PP
The filename (without path) of the ASCII file will for each star be added in a table column labeled \'CAT_NAME\'.
.PP
The 8 filter names are hard\-coded in the recipe.
.PP

Lines beginning with a hash (#) are treated as comments.
.PP

The files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof\-file) must be tagged:
NACO\-ASCII\-file IMG_STD_ASCII
