Hi everyone!

I am currently using the 'imexamine' task to take some simple measurements, but I am not sure where I could find out the errors. Say, if I use the curser key 'r' to plot a radial profile of a certain star, using the gaussian fit, how do I know the fitting error? And how do I know the error of the central pixel coordinates that it gives me?

Thanks!

IMEXAM doesn't print errors for the 'r' key, however most of the functionality in the task is available as a separate task. For example, the IMCENTROID task is able to take a starting coord and print a centering error. Does this answer your question?

Cheers,
-Mike
