Photometry overestimates point source maximum brightness

Open vrmarquezpacheco opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hello! I have been using the different photometry routines on the point source AGN. However, I keep finding that the maximum brightness of the point source is larger than the maximum brightness of the original image, leaving a negative value in the residual image. I'm new to this and I haven't encoutered this issue before. I wondered if anyone had also encoutered this problem. Thanks!
