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.
