What is SExtractor?
SExtractor (Source-Extractor) is a program that builds a catalogue of objects from an astronomical image. It is particularly oriented towards reduction of large scale galaxy-survey data, but it also performs well on moderately crowded star fields.

it turns out that the coords are shifted over my 0.5 much. I need to look into this more.
