Allstar output format

Jaco wrote on Oct 25, 2011

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me where I will be able to change the photometry output format of allstar task to more decimal digits.
I have already done that for the aperture photometry output in the file "apwres2.x" but cannot find the file that writes the output for psf or allstar.

Do I also need to change it in the psf output file if it is read by allstar?

Thank you
Jaco

The systematics in allstar, in my experience, are huge. I'm curious why you need more decimal digits as they are probably physically meaningless.

I need photometry down to milli-magnitudes, so 4 decimal places in the phot output is needed.

I did psf and aperture photometry. The aperture photometry is now fine but I need to get the magnitude output of psf photometry also to 4 decimal digits.

So do you know which file I need to edit in order to change the output?

Thanks
Jaco
