okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, and today's main character is scamp 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

scamp — computes astrometric and photometric solutions from SExtractor catalogs 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

scamp catalog1 [catalog2 ...][@catalog_list1 [@catalog_list2 ...]]
       [-c configuration-file][-param1 value1 -param2 value2 ...]

scamp -d

So like… you feed it catalogs (one, or a whole lil squad of them, or even @-prefixed lists of catalogs), optionally tell it which configuration-file to use with -c, and then sprinkle in however many -param1 value1 style pairs you want to override. Or you just run scamp -d and vibe. Both are valid. 💅
