NAME
photo_proc - takes image of celestial object and corrects it
SYNOPSIS
photo_proc
DESCRIPTION
photo_proc 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_proc2
which does the bias, dark and
flat field corrections using the
ccdproc
procedure.
The background procedure checks the environment variable SENDMAIL. If it is
true (T), the image is compressed into a file with the name $DATID.ftz and
queued for transmission 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

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