Fitsblink
can be started in the following ways:
fitsblink [[file.fts] [file.fts.gz]..]
will show the user
interface and let you do all of the normal functions. If you specify
FITS file names, it will also load images and display them.
fitsblink -i file.inp
will read names of the FITS files
which should be loaded from the file.inp
, their respective
positional shift and any number of markers with their positions,
sizes, colors and shapes.
starcount
where starcount
is a link to the
fitsblink
program will detect stars and write their positions
in an output file (see subsection 12.1.5). Starcount
runs fitsblink
in a non-interactive mode, so no windows appear
nor do you need to run X-Windows.
catalog
where catalog
is a link to the
fitsblink
program will read a star list and the image FITS
header and try to find a match with a star catalog. It writes any
cross-identifications it finds in the output file. For more details,
see subsection 12.2.4.
