def align_norm(fnlist, tolerance=5, thresh=3.5):
"""Aligns a set of images to each other, as well as normalizing the images
to the same average brightness.
Both the alignment and normalization are accomplished through stellar
photometry using the IRAF routine 'daophot'. The centroids of a handful
of stars are found and used to run the IRAF routine 'imalign'. The
instrumental magnitudes of the stars are used to determine by how much
each image must be scaled for the photometry to match across images.
The images are simply updated with their rescaled, shifted selves. This
overwrites the previous images and adds the header keyword 'fpphot' to
the images.
A handful of temporary files are created during this process, which should
all be deleted by the routine at the end. But if it is interrupted, they
might not be.
If the uncertainty images exist, this routine also shifts them by the same
amounts as the intensity images, as well as updating the uncertainty values
for both the new normalization and the uncertainties in normalizing the
images.
Inputs:
fnlist -> List of strings, each the path to a fits image.
tolerance -> How close two objects can be and still be considered the same
object. Default is 3 pixels.
thresh -> Optional. Level above sky background variation to look for objs.
Default is 3.5 (times SkySigma). Decrease if center positions
aren't being found accurately. Increase for crowded fields to
decrease computation time.
