NAME
photo_all - takes image of celestial object and does photometry
SYNOPSIS
photo_all [quality]
DESCRIPTION
photo_all takes a picture of an astronomical target, and is usually
invoked thru
telco.
It takes an image using the RA, DEC, FILTERS,
DATID and EXPTIME set in the environment using the photo command. Then
in the background it invokes
photo_all2
which does the bias, dark and
flat field corrections using the
ccdproc
procedure. Then does aperture
photometry using dophot.
If the quality option is specified, the
nightime procedure do_quality is called which evaluates the night
transparency and stability. Ultimately, this procedure will be used to
determine the night time
conditions.
The background procedure checks the environment variable SENDMAIL. If it is
true (T), the photometry coordinate (.coo) and photometry files (.pht) are
sent to the remote system. Also a line is entered into the file
sendmail.log so the observer can be informed by e-mail by
morning.csh that the observations are
available.

BUGS
The HOME_DIR must be specified in the environment. It really should be
derived from the FITS header in the
image.
