This option implies -use-source-extractor. Note that you can giveĬommand line args here too (but put them in quotes), eg: -source-extractor-path 'source-extractor -DETECT_TYPE CCD'. 'source-extractor', assumed to be in your PATH. source-extractor-path file Use the given path to the Source Extractor executable. Note that CATALOG_NAME andĬATALOG_TYPE values will be over-ridden by command-line values. (default: HUGE_VAL) -use-source-extractor Use Source Extractor rather than built-in image2xy to find sources -source-extractor-config file Use the given Source Extractor config file.
