SPS2 is Stellar Photometry Software version 2
(http://www.tass-survey.org/tass/software/software.html#sps).  The crunch
consisted of executing with the following command "sps2x < input.dat" on
every image (including darks - this is just a test after all).  sps2x is the
aforementioned program, input.dat being attached, and the "crunched" data is
a catalog of stars found in the image, consisting of: column and row of the
star in the image, instrumental magnitude, sky value and estimated sigma for
instrumental magnitude.  I understand that additional steps would be
required before the data could be cataloged, but haven't determined how to
accomplish  those yet.
