ASTROMETRIC
ASTROMETRIC [RAmin RAmax DECmin DECmax] [/MAGNITUDE Mlim] [/EPOCH
date] [/OUTPUT File] [/EQUINOX date]
Searches and plots all astrometric stars of magnitude less than Mlim
(brighter than Mlim) in the (RA,DEC) box specified by RAmin RAmax DECmin
DECmax (if present; otherwise, in the current Greg box provided that the
coordinate system is equatorial). The current marker type is used and
the size depends on the current marker size and on the star magnitude.
Proper motions are included to represent the sky at the date specified
in the /EPOCH option if present, at the current day otherwise.
The stars are precessed to the equinox specified by option /EQUINOX if
present, and otherwise to the equinox defined in variable G_EPOCH.
If option /OUTPUT is present, star positions, magnitudes, spectral types
and names are written in the specified file (which defaults to user
terminal).
NOTES:
- Palomar/SRC Survey Schmidt Plates (POSS#I) are squares of size 35.56
cm (14 inches) with a scale of 67.14 Arcsec. per mm.
- ESO Survey Plates are squares of size 30 cm with a scale of 67.6
Arcsec. per mm.
If you want to make overlays, do not forget the /EXACT option in command
