Description:
    Tables show the photometry and colour index for the observed galaxy,
    with the image parameter SHARP. This parameter is a measure of the
    difference between the observed width of the object and the psf model.

Note (1): The XY positions were calculated from the SW corner (X,Y=0,0) of the
           image, with +X going to east and +Y to north. This corner is the
           lower-right corner of the image. 1 pix = 0.176arcsec.
Note (2): SHARP is a measure of the difference between the observed width of
           the object and the width of the psf model.
