Paul Sydney writes: "I just checked and '-t 2.3' and '-b 3' arguments
are the default. '-S' is being used as a flag to enable the local
maximum difference filtering which is use to reduce detections around
stars due to seeing variations. I just updated the code to enable
this difference filter by default and the -S flag is now used to
define just the local area size. I have added a new flag '-D' to
disable the difference filter if needed. I have uploaded new
magic.tgz to IPP. Using the new code, you should now be able to
eliminate all command line flags."
