interpreted as the rotation of the ra / longitude and dec / latitude
coordinates with respect to the x and y axes, and default 0.0 and 0.0 degrees
respectively. To set east to the up, down, left, and right directions,
set xrotation to 90, 270, 180, and 0 respectively. To set north to the
up, down, left, and right directions, set yrotation to  0, 180, 90, and 270
degrees respectively. Any global rotation must be added to both the
xrotation and yrotation values.
.le
.ls lngref = "INDEF", latref = "INDEF"
The ra / longitude and dec / latitude of the reference point. Lngref and latref
may be numbers, e.g 13:20:42.3 and -33:41:26, or keywords for the

image data. If lngref and latref are undefined they default to 0.0 and 0.0
respectively.
.le
.ls lngrefunits = "", latrefunits = ""
The units of the reference point celestial  coordinates. The options
are "hours", "degrees", and "radians" for the ra / longitude coordinates,

.ls center = yes
Center the object pixel coordinates using an x and y marginal centroiding
algorithm ?
.le
.ls sbox = 21
The search box width in pixels. Sbox defines the region of the input image
searched and used to compute the initial x and y marginal centroids. Users
worried about contamination can set sbox = cbox, so that the first
centering iteration will be the same as the others.

DESCRIPTION

CCFIND locates the objects in the input celestial coordinate lists \fIinput\fR
in the input images \fIimage\fR using the image world coordinate system,
and writes the located objects to the output matched coordinates files
\fIoutput\fR. CCFIND computes the pixel coordinates of each object by,
1) transforming the input celestial coordinates to image celestial coordinate
system, 2) using the image celestial coordinate system to compute the
initial pixel coordinates, and 3) computing the final pixel coordinates
using a centroiding algorithm. The image celestial coordinate system may
be read from the image header or supplied by the user. The CCFIND output
files are suitable for input to the plate solution computation task CCMAP.

The input ra / longitude and dec / latitude coordinates are read from
columns \fIlngcolumn\fR and \fIlatcolumn\fR in the input coordinate
file respectively.

The input celestial coordinate system is set by the \fIinsystem\fR parameter,
and must be one of the following: equatorial, ecliptic, galactic, or
supergalactic.  The equatorial coordinate systems must be one of: 1) FK4,
the mean place pre-IAU 1976 system, 2) FK4-NO-E, the same as FK4 but without
the E-terms, 3) FK5, the mean place post-IAU 1976 system, 4) ICRS the
International Celestial Reference System, 5) GAPPT, the geocentric apparent
place in the post-IAU 1976 system.

The \fIlngunits\fR and \fIlatunits\fR parameters set the units of the input
celestial coordinates. If undefined, lngunits and latunits assume sensible
defaults for the input celestial coordinate system set by the \fIinsystem\fR
parameter, e.g. "hours" and "degrees" for equatorial coordinates and "degrees"
and "degrees" for galactic coordinates.

If the \fIusewcs\fR parameter is "yes", the image celestial coordinate
system is read from the image header keywords CRPIX, CRVAL, CD or CDELT/CROTA,
RADECSYS, EQUINOX or EPOCH, and MJD-OBS or DATE-OBS, where the mathematical
part of this transformation is shown below.

.nf
        xi = a + b * x + c * y
       eta = d + e * x + f * y
         b = CD1_1
         c = CD1_2
         e = CD2_1
         f = CD2_2
         a = - b * CRPIX1 - c * CRPIX2
         d = - e * CRPIX1 - f * CRPIX2 
       lng = CRVAL1 + PROJ (xi, eta)
       lat = CRVAL2 + PROJ (xi, eta)
.fi

If usewcs is "no", then the image celestial coordinate system is computed
using the values of the \fIxref\fR, \fIyref\fR, \fIxmag\fR, \fIymag\fR,
\fIxrotation\fR, \fIyrotation\fR, \fIlngref\fR, \fIlatref\fR,
\fIlngrefunits\fR, \fIlatrefunits\fR, \fIrefsystem\fR, and \fIprojection\fR
supplied by the user, where the mathematical part of this transformation is
shown below.

.nf
        xi = a + b * x + c * y
       eta = d + e * x + f * y
         b = xmag * cos (xrotation)
         c = -ymag * sin (yrotation)
         e = xmag * sin (xrotation)
         f = ymag * cos (yrotation)
         a = - b * xref - c * yref 
         d = - e * xref - f * yref
       lng = lngref + PROJ (xi, eta)
       lat = latref + PROJ (xi, eta)
.fi

In both the above examples, x and y are the pixel coordinates, xi and eta
are the usual projected (standard) coordinates, lng and lat are the celestial
coordinates, and PROJ stands for the projection function,  usually
the tangent plane projection function.

Once the image celestial coordinate system is determined, CCFIND transforms
the input celestial coordinates to the image celestial coordinate system
using the value of the \fIinsystem\fR parameter, and either the values of
the image header keywords RADECSYS, EQUINOX / EPOCH, and MJD-OBS / DATE-OBS
(if \fIusewcs\fR = "yes"), or the value of the \fIrefsystem\fR parameter (if
\fIusewcs\fR = "no"), and then transforms the image celestial coordinates
to pixel coordinates using the inverse of the transformation functions
shown above.

If \fIcenter\fR is yes, CCFIND locates the objects in the input
image using an  xn and y marginal centroiding algorithm. Pixels
inside a box \fIsbox\fR pixels wide centered in the initial coordinates,
are used to locate the objects in the image. Accurate final centering
is done using pixels inside a region \fIcbox\fR pixels wide centered on
these initial coordinates. Sbox should be set to a value large enough
to locate the object, but small enough to exclude other bright sources.
Cbox should be set to a value small enough to exclude sky values and other
bright sources, but large enough to include the wings of point sources.
Bad data can be excluded from the centroiding algorithm by setting
the \fIdatamin\fR and \fIdatamax\fR parameters. If \fIbackground\fR is
undefined then the centroiding algorithm sets the background value to
the mean of the good data values inside the centering box.
The centroiding algorithm iterates until the maximum number of
iterations \fImaxiter\fR limit is reached, or until the tolerance
criteria \fItolerance\fR is achieved.

Only objects whose coordinates are successfully located in the 
input image are written to the output coordinate file. The computed
output pixel coordinates are appended to the input image line using
the format parameters \fIxformat\fR and \fIyformat\fR parameters,
whose default values are "%10.3f" and "%10.3f" respectively

FORMATS

A  format  specification has the form "%w.dCn", where w is the field
width, d is the number of decimal places or the number of digits  of
precision,  C  is  the  format  code,  and  n is radix character for
format code "r" only.  The w and d fields are optional.  The  format
codes C are as follows:
   
.nf
b       boolean (YES or NO)
c       single character (c or '\c' or '\0nnn')
d       decimal integer
e       exponential format (D specifies the precision)
f       fixed format (D specifies the number of decimal places)
g       general format (D specifies the precision)
h       hms format (hh:mm:ss.ss, D = no. decimal places)
m       minutes, seconds (or hours, minutes) (mm:ss.ss)
o       octal integer
rN      convert integer in any radix N
s       string (D field specifies max chars to print)
t       advance To column given as field W
u       unsigned decimal integer
w       output the number of spaces given by field W
x       hexadecimal integer
z       complex format (r,r) (D = precision)
   
   
Conventions for w (field width) specification:
   
    W =  n      right justify in field of N characters, blank fill
        -n      left justify in field of N characters, blank fill
        0n      zero fill at left (only if right justified)
absent, 0       use as much space as needed (D field sets precision)

Escape sequences (e.g. "\n" for newline):
   
\b      backspace   (not implemented)
\f      formfeed
\n      newline (crlf)
\r      carriage return
\t      tab
\"      string delimiter character
\'      character constant delimiter character
\\      backslash character
\nnn    octal value of character
   
Examples
   
%s          format a string using as much space as required
%-10s       left justify a string in a field of 10 characters
%-10.10s    left justify and truncate a string in a field of 10 characters
%10s        right justify a string in a field of 10 characters
%10.10s     right justify and truncate a string in a field of 10 characters
   
%7.3f       print a real number right justified in floating point format
%-7.3f      same as above but left justified
%15.7e      print a real number right justified in exponential format
%-15.7e     same as above but left justified
%12.5g      print a real number right justified in general format

1. Locate the object in the list wpix.coords in the image wpix using
the existing image header wcs. The input celestial coordinates file
contains j2000 GSC catalog coordinates of 5 objects in the field.
The image wcs is in b1950.

3. Repeat the previous example but read the ra, dec, and epoch from the
image header keywords RA, DEC, and EPOCH. It turns out the telescope
RA and DEC recorded in the image header are not very accurate and that
EPOCH is 0.0 instead of 1987.26 so we will fix up the header before
trying out the example.
