PSF and Extended Sources

The PSF system can also be used to search for or model extended point sources. The pss program has a variable EXTEN which measures the fit to an extended source using the PSF convolved with a Gaussian. Greater control of the process of modifying the PSF shape can be achieved using the crepsf and spconvol programs.
