.SH NAME
visir_util_img_std_cat \- Convert ASCII\-file(s) to a FITS standard star catalog

.SH SYNOPSIS
esorex
.B visir_util_img_std_cat
[OPTIONS] FILE.sof

.SH DESCRIPTION
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 45 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 3 next fields are the RA (hh mm ss) which will be stored in degrees in 
a table column labeled \'RA\' \- all three are non\-negative and hh and mm are 
integer.
.PP
The 3 next fields are the DEC (dd mm ss) which will be stored in degrees in 
a table column labeled \'DEC\' \- all three are non\-negative, dd and mm are 
integer, while dd has either a \'+\' or a \'\-\' prepended (including \-00).
.PP
The next field is the spectral type which will be stored in a 
table column labeled \'SP_TYPE\'.
.PP
The 31 next fields are the JY values for the 31 supported image filters.
.PP
The 6 next fields are the JY values for the 6 supported spectral filters.
.PP
All JY values must be positive.
.PP
For each filter the JY value is stored in a table column labeled with the 
filter name.
.PP
The 37 filter names are hard\-coded in the recipe.
.PP

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

The ASCII\-input should be tagged IMG_LINES_ASCII, but all input 
files will currently be processed regardless.
