DESCRIPTION
     SExtractor  is  a program that builds a catalogue of objects from an astro-
     nomical image. Although it is particularly oriented  towards  reduction  of
     large  scale  galaxy-survey  data,  it  performs  rather well on moderately
     crowded star fields.
     See http://terapix.iap.fr/soft/sextractor for more details.
