DESCRIPTION
SExtractor is a program that builds a catalogue
of objects from an astronomical 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.
