SExtractor (Source Extractor) is a program that builds a catalogue of
objects from an astronomical image. Although it is particularly
oriented towards reduction of large scale galaxy-survey data, it
performs rather well on moderately crowded star fields. It has the
ability to automatically separate stars and galaxy using neural
networks.
