RefMatchTask¶
RefMatchTask matches a source catalog with objects from a reference
catalog.
Processing summary¶
RefMatchTask runs this sequence of operations:
- Find position reference stars that overlap the exposure.
 - Match input source catalog to the position reference stars.
 - Return statistics on quality of match.
