BSCENTRD

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME: 
   BSCENTRD
 PURPOSE:
   Compute "center of mass" centroid coordinates of a stellar object.  This
   procedure is considerable slower than the Astronomy libraries' CNTRD
   procedure, but yields much better results for small "BAD STARS", i.e.
   small scruffy objects which don't necessarily have a good shape.  It also
   avoids the CNTRD problem of ignoring a small star next to a much brighter
   one even if the exact coordinates are supplied.  Results seem to be of
   comperable accuracy (based on comaprisons of residuals when transferring
   solutions to higher resolution images) on bright sources and can measure
   many sources CNTRD is not capable of.  Careful study of results of this
   algorithm versus other popular ones still needs to be done.  In general,
   results are quite good, actually.  The author uses is for ALL measurement
   work, not just "BAD STARS".
 CALLING SEQUENCE: 
   BSCENTRD,img,xguess,yguess,xcen,ycen,[FWHM],[/INFO]
 INPUTS:     
   IMG      Two dimensional image array
   XGUESS   Scalar giving approximate X stellar center
   YGUESS   Scalar giving approximate Y stellar center
 OPTIONAL OUTPUT:
   FWHM     Returned approximate FWHM.  Not terribly accurate.  Needs work.
 OUTPUTS:   
   XCEN     The computed X centroid position.  -1 if unable to centroid
   YCEN     The computed Y centroid position.  -1 if unable to centroid
  OPTIONAL OUTPUT KEYWORDS:
   INFO     If set, BScentrd prints out some informational statistics.  They
              are pretty good for small stars but not for large stars.
              This needs some work, too.
 PROCEDURE: 
   Nearest peak to the specified GUESS coordinates is determined.  Appriximate
   extent of star is determined and nearby stars are masked out.  Center of
   "mass" of the remaining star information is returned.
 MODIFICATION HISTORY:
   06-JUN-90 Written by Eric Deutsch
             numerous undocumented adjustments made over time
   04-APR-93 Header spiffed up for release.  EWD.

               value is not supplied the factor times which E(B-V) should
               be multiplied by is returned.
   SILENT    This Keyword, if set, prevents the result from being displayed.
 OPTIONAL OUTPUT:

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
   CLEANEXAMINE
 PURPOSE:
   This procedure is designed to aid in the examination of the results of
   of a run of IMGclean, although there are other uses for the program.

EXTRAC

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
	EXTRAC

 PURPOSE:
	The EXTRAC function returns as its result any rectangular sub-matrix
	or portion of the parameter array.  When parts of the specified
	subsection lie outside the bounds of the array, zeros are
	entered into these outlying elements.

	EXTRAC was originally a built-in system procedure in the PDP-11
	version of IDL, and was retained in that form in the original VAX/VMS
	IDL for compatibility.  Most applications of the EXTRAC function
	are more concisely written using subscript ranges (e.g., X(10:15)).  In
	the current release of IDL, EXTRAC has been rewritten as a User Library
	function that provides the same interface as the previous versions.

 CATEGORY:
	Array Manipulation.

 CALLING SEQUENCE:
	Result = EXTRAC(Array, C1, C2, ..., Cn, S1, S2, ..., Sn)

 INPUTS:                 
	Array:	The array from which the subarray will be copied.

	Ci:	The starting subscript in Array for the subarray. There
		should be one Ci for each dimension of Array.

	Si:	The size of each dimension.  The result will have dimensions
		of (S1, S2, ..., Sn). There should be one Si for each
		dimension of Array.

 OUTPUTS:
	This function returns a two-dimensional, floating-point,
	interpolated array.

 RESTRICTIONS:
	In order to make the most typical cases run quickly, little error 
	checking is done on the input.  In particular, the Ci and Si arguments
	must all be scalar integers, and the Si must be non-negative.

	If you know that the subarray will never lie beyond the edges of
	the array, it is more efficient to use array subscript ranges
	to extract the data instead of EXTRAC. 

 PROCEDURE:
	If the subarray lies entirely inside the Array argument, the
	standard array subscript-range mechanism is used to do the work.
	Otherwise, a zeroed array of the correct type and size is
	created, and the overlapping subarray is copied into it.

 EXAMPLES:
	EXAMPLE 1:
	Define a 1000 point vector with each element initialized to
	its subscript.  Extract a 300 pt. vector, starting at A(200) and
	going to A(499).  B(0) will be equal to A(200), B(299) will be
	equal to A(499).  Enter:

	    A = FINDGEN(1000)
	    B = EXTRAC(A, 200, 300)

	EXAMPLE 2:
	Here, the first 49 points extracted (B(0) to B(49)) lie outside
	the bounds of the vector and are set to 0.  B(50) is set to A(0),
	B(51) is set to A(1) which is 1, ... Enter:

	    A = FINDGEN(1000)
	    B = EXTRAC(A, -50, 100)

	EXAMPLE 3:
	The following commands illustrate the use of EXTRAC with multi-
	dimensional arrays.  Enter:

	    A = INTARR(64,64)	;Make a 64X64 matrix to play with

	Take out a 32X32 portion starting at A(20,30) by entering:

	    B = EXTRAC(A, 20, 30, 32, 32)

	A better way to perform the same operation as the previous line is:

	    B = A(20:51, 30:61)

	Extract the 20th column and 32nd row of A:

	    B = EXTRAC(A, 19, 0, 1, 64)	; Extract 20th column of A
	    B = EXTRAC(A, 0, 31, 64, 1)	; Extract 32nd row of A

	Take a 32X32 matrix from A starting at A(40,50).

	    B = EXTRAC(A, 40, 50, 32, 32)

	NOTE: Those points beyond the boundaries of A are set to 0.

GSC_READ

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
   GSC_READ
 DESCRIPTION:
   This procedure reads a ST Guide Star format file and returns the stars in
   an array of structures with fields ID,StrID,RA,DEC,MAG.
 CALLING SEQUENCE:
   GSC_Read,FILE,LS,[Trgt_Coord],[/silent,/Duplicates,/Verbose,MaxStars=]
 INPUT:
   FILE      The Name of the File to Load
 OUTPUT:
   LS        The array of Stuctures containing the star information.  The
               fields are given above.  Address the String ID of the sixth
               star with ls(5).StrID

 OPTIONAL FLAGS/PARAMETERS:
   SILENT     If set, all messages including error messages are inhibited.
                This keyword overrides the VERBOSE keyword.
   DUPLICATES If set, duplicate stars will be KEPT.  The default is to keep
                only the first of duplicate stars, which appear frequently
                in the STGSC (when a star appears on more than one plate.)
   VERBOSE    If set, informational messages (Targets Coords, Equinox, Stars
                read, duplicates skipped) WILL be printed.
   MAXSTARS   The stars information is initally loaded into a huge array and
                then chopped down to the appropriate size when all stars are
                loaded.  The default value is 2000.  Increase for huge files.

IMGCLEAN[1]

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
   IMGclean
 PURPOSE:
     This procedure is designed to remove cosmic ray hits (CRs) from an image,
   especially WFPC images.  The procedure's effectiveness varies from image
   to image.  Often, it does an excellent job, but sometimes
   the operational parameters must be modified (via keywords) to tweak
   the performance of the software.
     It should not be assumed that this procedure will automatically do a good
   job!  Keep a close eye on before and after images.  Occaisionally, a faint
   star gets obliterated, especially if there is a cosmic ray around 3 pixels
   from it.  Naturally, this procedure is only recommended when a CR split is
   not possible, as that will often yield better results.
     Run IMGclean twice on the same image to acheive best cleaning results
   especially on images with very dense CR's.
     Still in a somewhat primitive state, this procedure still need some
   improvement to the algorithm.  Suggestions welcome to deutsch@stsci.edu.
     Use the CLEANEXAMINE main program to examine the results of the IMGclean
   run.
     Cuyrrently, IMGclean is tweaked for PC images.  I haven't worked with
   WF images in a while, so you may to diddle with the parameters for best
   effect.
 CALLING SEQEUNCE:
   IMGclean,IMAGE,HEADER,[CR_ARRAY],[optional keywords]'
   IMGclean,/help
 INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
   IMAGE     This parameter supplies the image in which the CRs are to be
               removed.  This image is MODIFIED!  The output cleaned image
               is returned via this variable.
   HEADER    This parameter is the FITS header.  The header will be modified
               with added HISTORY notes and keywords detailing the settings
               used on the last IMGclean run.
 OPTIONAL OUTPUT:
   CR_ARRAY  This array is a BYTE array of the same size as the input image
               containing some information of which pixels the software
               considered, and what descisions it made as far as CR or STAR.
                   DN    Meaning
                   70    Low scan pixel not removed
                  120    Hi scan pixel not removed (i.e. suspected star)
                  255    Hi scan pixel removed (i.e. cosmic ray)
                  200    Neighboring Low scan pixel removed
 OPTIONAL INPUT:
   HELP             Displays quick keyword defaults values
   TESTRUN          If set, dumps a file with stats on each object considered
   STAR_PSF_SENS    Sensitivity of the STAR checking.
                     The higher the value, the more CRs will be left in the
                     image because they are suspected as being stars.  The
                     lower the value, the more faint stars will be removed.
                     Default=.35  Typical=.35, .25, .30, .40.
                      -Value: .35 is probably the optimum value for doing a
                       good job with CR's but leaving virtually faint
                       scrungy stars for PC frames.
                      -Value: .25 is probably the optimum value for doing
                       the best possible job of cleaning CR's at the
                       expense of removing a few more faint scrungy stars
                       than is proper.  If faint, scrungy stars are not
                       important, this may be the best setting (again, PC).
   SKY_VAL_SAMP_SZ  Size of the boxes used when calculating the local
                     background.  The X,Y image size must be a multiple of the
                     box size.  Use smaller boxes for steeper images.
                     Default values are 10 or 16.
   HI_SCAN_HEIGHT   Pixel value above the sky value in sky RMS units that is
                     flagged as a suspected CR.  Default=6.  Typical=5,6,7
   LO_SCAN_HEIGHT   Pixel value above the sky value in sky RMS units that is
                     removed if it is adjacent to a positively identified CR,
                     provided FINE_CLEAN=1.  Default=1.5.  Typical=2,2.5,3
   FINE_CLEAN       Set (=1) this keyword (Flag) if pixels above LO_SCAN_HEIGHT
                     neighboring pixels identified as CRs are to be removed.
   PHASE1_ITER      Number of iterations for Phase 1.  Should always be 2
                     because 1 iteration tends to leave more CRs behind.
   QPHOT            If set, quick photometry is run on stars using qphot.pro
   NOCLEAN          If set, all objects are assumed to be stars and nothing
                     is checked or removed.  Used in conjunction with QPHOT
                     on an already cleaned image.
 HISTORY:
   02-SEP-90 Version 1.0 written by Eric W. Deutsch (EWD)
   27-JUN-91 Version 1.1 released with several minor modifications including
               changing the operational parameters to keywords. (EWD)
   27-JAN-92 Version 1.2 released with the additions of changing the
               operational parameters to keywords and adding better on-line
               help. (EWD)
   07-MAY-92 Version 1.21 released: proper header added and /HELP keyword
               added.  EWD.
   10-MAY-92 Version 1.22: Fixed "Donutting" problem and changed default
               STAR_PSF_SENS value to .50 instead of .66 since it was removing
               too many actual stars.  EWD.
   24-JUL-92 Version 1.3: Better Star/CR determination algorithm added.
               This algorithm is less Kludgy, but sometimes gives poorer
               results than the v1.22 release.  Needs Work!  EWD.
   08-DEC-92 Version 1.31: Tidied things up a bit, but nothing major.  EWD.
   09-DEC-92 Version 1.32: Fixed a rather major bug in the focus pixel
               identifier and fixed the logic for negative ratios.  This
               now shows a major improvement!  The major task now is to add
               a special identifier for streak CR hits.  EWD
   04-JAN-93 Version 1.40: Changed the default sensitivity to 0.35 which
               make IMGclean more lenient as far as stars go, but added
               another simple-minded neighboring pixels check which catches
               A LOT of CR's.  Basically, I say that if more than 2 of the
               8 neighboring pixels aren't above the low scan hight, then
               it MUST be a cosmic ray.  This now shows another big im-
               provement in number of CR's removed as well as star removed.
               This also does a better job at removing long streaks, but
               an algorithm specifically for longs streaks is needful and
               will be implemented soon.  Header updated.  Eric W. Deutsch
   05-JAN-93 Version 1.41: Little Faster.  Fixed FITS header updating.  EWD
   06-JAN-93   Added a few more comments and text to program header.  EWD
   28-FEB-93 Version 1.42: Added /QPHOT and /NOCLEAN options and code so that
               IMGclean can do some rudimentary quick aperture photometry. EWD

IMGCLEAN[2]

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
   IMGclean
 PURPOSE:
     This procedure is designed to remove cosmic ray hits (CRs) from a image,
   specifically WFPC images.  The procedure was originally written with one
   image in mind and was made to work well with that image.  Its effectiveness
   for other images varies.  Often, it does an excellent job, but sometimes
   the operational parameters must be modified (via IDL2 kerwords) to tweak
   the performance of the software.
     Still in a somewhat primitive state, this procedure will be improved
   beginning June 1992.  Suggestions welcome to SCIVAX::DEUTSCH.
 CALLING SEQEUNCE:
   IMGclean,IMAGE,HEADER,[CR_ARRAY],[optional keywords]'
   IMGclean,/help
 INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
   IMAGE     This parameter supplies the image in which the CRs are to be
               removed.  This image is MODIFIED!  The output cleaned image
               is returned via this variable.
   HEADER    This parameter is the FITS header.  The header will be modified
               with added HISTORY detailing the procedure.
 OPTIONAL OUTPUT:
   CR_ARRAY  This array is a BYTE array of the same size as the input image
               containing some information of which pixels the software
               considered, and what descisions it made as far as CR or STAR.
 OPTIONAL INPUT:
   keywords  The purpose of these ketwords is described by typing
               IMGclean,/help
 HISTORY:
   02-SEP-90 Version 1.0 written by Eric W. Deutsch (EWD)
   27-JUN-91 Version 1.1 released with several minor modifications including
               changing the operational parameters to keywords. (EWD)
   27-JAN-92 Version 1.2 released with the additions of changing the
               operational parameters to keywords and adding better on-line
               help. (EWD)
   07-MAY-92 Version 1.21 released: proper header added and /HELP keyword
               added.  Added MOUSSE check.
   10-MAY-92 Version 1.22: Fixed "Donutting" problem and changed default
               STAR_PSF_SENS value to .50 instead of .66 since it was removing
               too many actual stars.

IMGMRG

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 *****************************************************************************
 ******* PROCEDURE: IMGMRG
 *****************************************************************************
 *** DESCRIPTION:
 ***     This procedure will combine two images (mainly designed for GSSS use)
 ***       that individually do not produce a nice centered image.  In other
 ***       words, if as object is near a plate edge, the other plate where the
 ***       object is near the plate edge can also be extracted and the two can
 ***       be combined so that the object will appear in the center if the
 ***       new image and the edge defects can be eliminated.
 *** INPUT:
 ***    Lfile	  The file name (with Header extender) in which the center of
 ***               the object is less than 1024 (Low.) (from ODlist)
 ***    Hfile    The file name (with Header extender) in which the center of
 ***               the object is greater that 12975 (High.) (from ODlist)
 ***    OUTfile  The file name (with Header extender) to which the combined
 ***               image should be written
 ***    LoCen    The height of the Center line of the object (from ODlist) in
 ***               the Lfile.
 ***    HiCen    The height of the Center (corresponding) line of the object
 ***               in the Hfile. [2048-(14000-ODlist#)]
 ***    LoBkg    Background to be subtracted from the Lfile image.
 ***    HiBkg    Background to be subtracted from the Hfile image.
 *** OUTPUT:
 ***    The output file (both .HHD and .HHH)
 ***    all passed variables remain unchanged
 *** NOTES:
 ***    LoCen and HiCen must correspond to the same line in each image for
 ***      the two images to fit properly.  They can be found as calculated
 ***      above from the ODlist, or just picked arbitrarily by examining both
 ***      images and choosing a line.
 ***    The two backround variables are mainly intended to make the two
 ***      backgrounds roughly similar.  These variables were not intended to
 ***      completely subtract out the backgrounds.

 PURPOSE:
  This procedure takes a portion from SRCIMG and pastes it into DSTIMG.
  This is originally intended for replacing a star or other goof that
  IMGclean has made.  DIAM should usually be odd for a symmetrical
  replacement.  If DIAM is even, the extra pixels will spill over to the
  lower x,y pixels.

IMGREAD

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
	IMGREAD
 PURPOSE:
	Open an SDAS/GEIS file and read the image into a data array of 
	appropriate type and read the header into a string array.  This 
	procedure was designed to be more versatile than the STRD procedure 
	and to be specifically useful to WF/PC and FOC data, as well as all 
	other GEIS images.  IMGread supports multiple GROUPS (i.e. in STSDAS 
	format).

 CALLING SEQEUNCE:
	IMGread,image,hdr,[filename],[groupno],[/NoAssoc,/silent,/Astrmfix]

 OPTIONAL INPUT:
	FILENAME  The filename of the HEADER file (must have extention .xxh 
		where xx may be any two alphanumerics but usually hh.)  If 
		there is no extention supplied, .hhh and .hhd are assumed.  If
		this parameter is not supplied, a filename is prompted for, 
		either with PICKFILE() if widgets are available, else by
		text prompt.
	GROUP - This parameter specifies the GROUP number image to read from a
               file which contains multiple groups.  For example, for WF/PC
               images where all four chips are contained in one file, one may
               specify a GROUP of 0 to read PC5, 1 for PC6, 3 for PC8,
               0 to read WF1 for a WF image, etc.  Therefore, the range of
               GROUP is 0 to GCOUNT-1 (where GCOUNT is a header keyword.)
 OUTPUT:
	IMAGE - The returned array which contains the pixel information.  
		IMAGE will be of whatever datatype the header indicates (or 
		seems to... i.e. if BITPIX=32 but there is no DATATYPE keyword,
               IMGread assumes REAL*4 if BZERO is 0 or non-existant and
               INTEGER*4 if BZERO is not 0.  This is usually right, but not
               always.)
	H - The returned string array containing the image header 
		information as if SXHREAD were used.

 OPTIONAL KEYWORDS:
	NoAssoc -  This keyword controls how IDL reads the file.    If NoAssoc
		is set and non-zero then the READU function is used instead
		of the ASSOC function.    The user can select the type of
		read that gives the best performance on his particular setup.
		In general, the ASSOC function seems to be faster, but is more
		demanding on virtual memory.
	SILENT - If this keyword is set and non-zero, then the "Loading..." 
		message will not be printed.
	ASTRMFIX  Controls whether the procedure AstrmFix is run.  AstrmFix
               calculates an astrometric solution from the HST Spacecraft
               angle in the header.  CRPIXn and CRVALn are left alone.  Only
               CDn_n are changed.  The Default is now 0.  If you find
		preposterous astrometry information in the header of WFPC 1
		images, try setting this switch on.

 SIDE EFFECTS:
	For an image with group parameters, all parameters are extracted from
	the .HHD file and values are inserted into the returned header variable.
	To get the original header, use SXHREAD for these type of image files.
	The EXTGRP procedure takes care of this process.

 EXAMPLE:
	Read the WF/PC file named 'w0hd0203t.c1h' into IDL variables, IM and H.

	IDL> IMGREAD, im,h,'w0hd0203t.c1h'

 OTHER PROCEDURES CALLED:
	SXPAR, SXADDPAR, SXOPEN, SXHREAD, FDECOMP, WFPCREAD, PICKFILE, EXTGRP

 HISTORY:
	09-JUL-92 Header finally added to this procedure which has been in use
	 for two or more years.  All versions and header by Eric W. Deutsch
	01-APR-93 Made a few minor adjustments.  EWD.  (No, really)
	July 93 Added /NoAssoc, MAKE_ARRAY, removed GET_FILE W. Landsman (HSTX)

IMGTEXT

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
   IMGtext
 PURPOSE:
   This procedure writes text onto the current graphics window.  Its
   purpose is to provide large, nice looking text with which to annotate
   images suitable for publication, since the Hershey Vector fonts often
   fall short of good publication quality at large sizes.  The drawback
   is that, since they are bitmapped fonts, only certain fonts and sizes
   are available.  However, by using the FONTCNVT utility, more can be
   added.
   One column of space is automatically provided on both sides of each
   character.  Additional space can be add with the spacing keyword.
 CALLING SEQEUNCE:
   IMGtext,xoffset,ybaseline,prtstring,fontname,[clearunder=]
 INPUT:
   XOFFSET   This is the X position where the first character is to begin.
               The actual character starts at X+1, but the space at the
               edge of the character begins at X.  This value is changed
               to reflect the new position of the 'cursor' as characters
               are written.
   YBASELINE This is the Y position of the baseline of the font.  Note that
               some characters of some fonts drop below the baseline.
   PRTSTRING This is the string of characters to write (e.g. 'Hello')
   FONTNAME  This is the string of the root filename of the font
               (e.g. 'bold24')
 OUTPUT:
   XOFFSET   The returned new position of the cursor.
 OPTIONAL KEYWORDS:
   CLEARUNDER  This keyword governs how the letter if written to the window
                  0  Text is written to the screen leaving the background
                  1  The space under the text is blanked out
                  2  One pixel all around each letter is blanked out
                       (default value)
   SPACING     This keyword specifies how many pixels of spacing between
                 letter is provided.  The default=2.
 EXAMPLE:
   x=100
   IMGtext,x,200,'Scale=30''''','bold16'

IMSCL

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

 IMSCL is similar to BYTSCL except is uses a half-linear and half-logarithmic
 scale.

 Call> imscl,img-min,0,max,linearmax,top=
 e.g.: imscl,img-300,0,10000,500,top=48

 The example call produces a linear stretch of 300-500 for half of the
 dynamic range, and a logarithmic stretch from 500-10000 for the other
 half of the dynamic range.  This allows fine detail visible at low levels
 without burning out stars..  top=48 works the same way as bytscl

 CALLING SEQUENCE:
   UNRED,wave,flux,ebv,funred      
 INPUT:
   WAVE - wavelength vector (Angstroms)
   FLUX - calibrated flux vector, same number of elements as WAVE
   EBV  - color excess E(B-V), scalar.  If a negative EBV is supplied,
          then fluxes will be reddened rather than deredenned.
 OUTPUT:
   FUNRED - unreddened flux vector, same units and number of elements
            as FLUX

WFPCMRG

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
 NAME:
   WFPCMRG
 DESCRIPTION:
   This procedure is designed to load all four chips of a WF or a PC
   and combining them into one 16 bit INTEGER image.  The chips may
   be trimmed or left whole.  Sky subtraction options are available.
   This is desgined for WFPC I images only!
 CALLING SEQUENCE:
   wfpcmrg,infile,outfile,trim,sky,CRclean
 INPUT PARAMETERS:
   INFILE     The name of the input WFPC group file with HEADER extender
   OUTFILE    The name of the output assembled file with HEADER extender
   TRIM       Trim Method:  This flag specifies the type of trimming used:
                0 = No Trimming
                1 = Trimming according to parameters decided by RCB & EWD
                    such that there is a small gap between the chips, so
                    that no part of the image is lost. (DEFAULT)
                2 = Trimming so that the Astrometry is fairly accurate for
                    all 4 chips.  (NOT YET AVAILABLE)
   SKY	       Sky/background subtraction.  The background can be subtracted
                according to the following specifications.  The SKYCALC
                procedure returns a median sky value and the RMS of the
                sky level noise.  Values of SKY subtract to obatain the
                following specifications:
                  0 = No Sky subtraction.  Chips assembled as is. (DEFAULT)
                  1 = Subtract SKYV+1.5*RMS which is usually about the top
                      of the noise.
                  2 = Subtract SKYV which is usually the middle of the
                      sky level noise
                  3 = Subtract SKYV-1.5*RMS which is usually about the
                      bottom of the noise level.
                  4 = Adjust sky level of all chips to be equal to that of
                      chip 1 (add or subtract as necessary)
                  5 = Use DJL routine SKY_VALUE to compute the sky and
                      maximum value of each chip
                  n = If SKY is greater than 5, the sky level of all chips
 	               will be set to this value (+ or - as necessary)
   CRCLEAN    Set to 1 to remove Cosmic Rays.  (Default=0)
 OUTPUT:
   The output files: both header and data files
   All passed variables remain unchanged
 NOTES:
   - Chips are never rotated during the matching.  To do the best fitting
     job, they need to be rotated (resampled).  The current trimming
     is 'best guess
   - Some portions of this program were taken from a procedure called
     MOSAIC by E. Malumuth (written 25-MAY-90.)
 HISTORY:
   05-JUN-90 Version 1 written by Eric W. Deutsch
   22-JUN-90 Trimming values finalized for WF (RCB and EWD)
   08-AUG-90 Sky subtraction, History writing, and Astrometry
     Interpretation parts fixed and extended.  EWD.
   09-AUG-90 Added parameters needed by DJL for his CELCO submission
     rountines.  EWD.
   21-SEP-90 Chips reoriented to match Press release orientation
     (presumably correct.  Original MOSAIC was wrong...)  EWD.
   10-DEC-92 Fixed header and tidied up a bit.  EWD.
