SYNOPSIS

esorex vmimstandard [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

This recipe is used to determine the instrumental magnitude of the stars matching the entries of a photometric catalog. The same procedure applied by the recipe vmimobsstare is used to reduce the standard field image. SExtractor v2.1.6 is used for the source detection task.
