>     GCX provides a complete set of data-reduction functions for CCD
>     photometry, with frame WCS fitting, automatic target 
> identification,
>     aperture photometry of target and standard stars, single-frame 
> ensemble
>     photometry data reduction, multi-frame color coefficient fitting,
>     extinction coefficient fitting, and all-sky photometry. It also
>     controls CCD cameras and telescopes, and implements automatic
>     observation scripting. Cameras are controlled through a
>     hardware-specific server, to which gcx connects through a TCP 
> socket.
>     The program can control telescopes which use the LX200 protocol, 
> and
>     refine pointing by matching images to the GSC catalog position of
>     stars. It generates FITS files with comprehensive header 
> information.
