NAME

SubtractSky - subtract the sky value in an image

SYNOPSIS

astsubtractsky [OPTION...] ASTRdata

DESCRIPTION

SubtractSky is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.2.33-8a3b. SubtractSky Finds the sky value over a grid on the input and subtracts it from the image to give a clear and uniform output.

For more information, please run any of the following commands. They will respectively show you the `Invoking SubtractSky' subsection, the complete `SubtractSky' section, or the full GNU Astronomy Utilities manual. In particular the first contains a very complete explanation of each option.
