Phot/datapars/photpars etc.

khl wrote on Jun 28, 2010

Hi,

I'm currently looking at an image whose units are in counts/sec. When I run the task PHOT, it tells me that the magnitude of the source is ~32nd magnitude. This is understandable because the units of the image is counts/sec and that number very small, often less than one hence the small magnitude. Now, to fix this there is a setting or keyword i'm suppose to change in one of the parameter files or in phot. I cannot find this and I'm not quite sure what I should write there. Any help would be great

Thank you.

PHOTMODE= 'WFPC2,1,A2D7,F336W,,CAL

This was in the header of my image. Does any one know what the "1" "A2D7" or "CAL" mean?
