     328[http://terapix.iap.fr/rubrique.php?id_rubrique=91/ 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. Documentation can be found on the website and in `/usr/share/doc/sextractor/`.
