The DAOPHOT psf task has a typo in its parameters. There's a missing period. Check the epar for the pstfile parameter. It is"Input psf star list(s) (default: image.pst?)"when it should be "Input psf star list(s) (default: image.pst.?)"Jason

Thanks, it's fixed for the next release.-Mike

The opstfile parameter is missing a space after "default:". [code:1:7999bfa0e8]opstfile= default Output PSF star list(s) (default:image.pst.?)[/code:1:7999bfa0e8]should be[code:1:7999bfa0e8]opstfile= default Output PSF star list(s) (default: image.pst.?)[/code:1:7999bfa0e8]JasonPS There's also a documentation inconsistency with question marks in the daophot psets. Sometimes a space is used before the question mark and sometimes it is not used (e.g., "Verify critical addstar parameters ?"). Personally, I dislike the space. In any case, all the tasks that are part of the daophot package should at least be consistent. Nit-picky but worth the small amount of time to fix, I think. After all, astronomers 100 years from now might still be using IRAF. ;-)

Thanks, both issues fixed for the next release.[quote:4b468ab984]After all, astronomers 100 years from now might still be using IRAF. :wink: [/quote:4b468ab984]Well, if there are people who can still read ancient Mycenean, I suppose SPP couldn't be that hard....Cheers,
