2 Usage

Summary:

autoastrom [options...] <NDF>

The options available are described in Table 1. String or integer values are given in the form --catalogue=usno@eso; those marked switch, such as --insert, can be specified as either --insert (meaning true) or --noinsert (false).

Those options which take values can have those values specified as either --option=value or --option value. The latter form is rather unfortunate (but currently unavoidable), since it means that if you forget to give a value, it gobbles the next option on the line as its value. The options of type switch below take no value; all of the others do.
