NAME¶
astscript-psf-select-stars - Select good stars for constructing the PSF
SYNOPSIS¶
astscript-psf-select-stars [OPTIONS] image.fits
DESCRIPTION¶
Build a catalogue of "good stars" that will be considered for constructing an extended and non parametric PSF. Here, "good stars" means that they don't have close objects that affect it sourrondings and consequently they are not contaminated. The script will construct a catalog of stars from reference datasets (Gaia) if the user does not provide another one. In addition to this, other parameters like the axis ratio are considered to filter the sample and select only proper stars.
