Command Line Arguments

filename
Name of IRAF image header file or FITS file. This must be present.
-b right ascension declination
Initial center right ascension and declination in degrees or sexigesimal in B1950 (FK4). Sexigesimal coordinates are hours:minutes:seconds degrees:minutes:seconds.
-c
Print object name, center, coordinate system, and size in minutes for Doug Mink's modified version of the getimage Digitized Sky Survey image extraction program. If the following argument starts with a + or -, the size is increased or decreased by that many arcminutes. If the following argument starts with an x, the dimensions are multiplied by the following constant, which may be less than or greater than 1.0. (multiplication added in version 1.4)
-d
Print object name, center, and size in minutes as input to the getimage Digitized Sky Survey image extraction program. If the following argument starts with a + or -, the size is increased or decreased by that many arcminutes. If the following argument starts with an x, the dimensions are multiplied by the following constant, which may be less than or greater than 1.0. (multiplication added in version 1.4)
-j right ascension declination
Initial center right ascension and declination in degrees or sexigesimal in J2000 (FK5). Sexigesimal coordinates are hours:minutes:seconds degrees:minutes:seconds.
-v
