-c [star]:Aperture center follows this star. Default is 0. When -M or -C option is used default is 1.
-f [name]:Search string for flat field images. Default is "flat*.fits". The string should contain a "*", and must (therefore) be in double quotes.
-i [iter]:Number of iterations for MAP mode. Defaults to 1.
