I successfully ran msccmatch on an image where I had come up with a decent fit using msctpeak:[quote:279c35b722]msccmatch S20130131S0063.fits[1] robberto_plaintext.txt usebpm=no

37/39 not centroided
Warning: Too many coordinates failed to centroid: 37/39 < 0.50
ERROR: MSCCMATCH failed for S20130131S0063.fits[1][/quote:279c35b722]It strikes me that these **BigShift** messages apply when the shift is not so big. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried mucking with the fine centroiding parameters (eg., maxshift), but to no effect.Related question: What are the columns in MSCCMATCH's output? It looks like xpix,ypix, delta-xpix, delta-ypix, err-dx, err-dy? But I wasn't able to find it in the docs.Thanks,
Adam
