Thanks Raul! The changes have been implemented in Commit 1c30d22070 (as part of a larger effort to fix the option names and documentation of almost all MakeCatalog measurement options).

While updating the documentation, I noticed that "delta" is a better suffix than "scatter" for the new name of '--sigclip-mean-sb-err', because "delta" (the name of the greek letter used in the book) is more objective and generic for this special measurement and can cause less confusion.

Thanks again for the good suggestion ;-).

The measurements that are related to the surface brightness done by MakeCatalog do not follow a good notation and the names are not clear at all. In order to be consistent and more clear, I propose the following changes:


--surfacebrightness    to    --sb
--sberror    to    --sberr


In addition to that, because the error, 'err', of the measurements are computed from the SKY_STD, it is confuse to use this name when considering the sigma clipping operators. So, I would also change the following:

--sigclip-mean-sb-err    to    --sigclip-mean-sbscatter
