AST header of input files generated by the BEAST

[e-sacchi]

The BEAST generates input AST files in a format tailored to dolphot, but with an extra line for the header which actually dolphot doesn't require. I think this should either be mentioned in the docs or removed.

Can you be more specific of the line in question? Maybe provide an example.

[e-sacchi]

The output file from python -m beast.tools.run.make_ast_inputs beast_settings.txt looks like this:

The first line needs to be removed before passing the file to dolphot.

Would it work if the 1st line started with a comment character (like #)? Would be nice to have a bit of header info for this file.

[e-sacchi]

Yes, I understand (and agree). I think I tried with the #, but I'll double check...

Great. Thanks.
