These two command procedures provide a simple interface to the software using only a restricted set of options, which should satisfy most demands.
Example: To get a J2000 red 5 arcmin finding chart and list for eo1396 (north)
> FCHART_RED eo1396 r 5 j
To get a B1950 list of images within 60 arcsec of target list on f824 (south)
> SEARCH_RED f824 60 b
The output plots would be called eo1396.plt and the lists eo1396.asc etc.
If you type FCHART_RED or SEARCH_RED you will be prompted for the
parameters which are:
FCHART_RED: field name, R(ed) or B(lue) plate, size of chart
in arcmin,
B(1950) or J(2000)
SEARCH_RED: field name, size of "radius" of box for search in
arcsec,
B(1950) or J(2000)
More flexible interaction can be obtained using:
> FCHART - to get finding chart pictures or
> SEARCH - to get list of objects on both red and blue plates
Try the command procedures first to see what optional parameters there are.
The input POSS data file (APM file) is called eofiles:eonnn.cmer where nnn is the POSS field no. for each object from step 4. If you need calibration coefficients they are called eofiles:eonnn.cof - UKST fields are called ukfiles:fnnn.cmer and .cal The input coordinate files are *.tar files from step 3.
You will have to run this step once for each field you have objects in.
It is generally best to create postscript plots. You can then FTP or
otherwise (using ASCII transfer for the lists as well as plots) the
output back to base camp.
