ASTSCRIPT-PSF-SCALE-FACTOR(1)

NAME
astscript-psf-scale-factor - Find factor to scale PSF to a given star in an image

SYNOPSIS
astscript-psf-scale-factor [OPTION] FITS-files

DESCRIPTION
This script is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.18.

This script will consider a center position and then compute the factor by which it is necessary to multiply the specified PSF image in order to match it with the object at the center (within a ring radii). The main idea is to have the necessary factor that will be used to allocate the PSF with the proper flux value for constructing the scattered light field.

For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the first contains a very comprehensive explanation of this script's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options.

Inputs/Outputs and options:
    $ info astscript-psf-scale-factor

Full Gnuastro manual/book:
    $ info gnuastro

If you couldn't find your answer in the manual, you can get direct help from experienced Gnuastro users and developers. For more information, please run:
