Gauss curve produced by Astrometrica. The total PSF is using the
aperture circle of 3 x 3 pixel around the brightest pixel.
You see the Gauss curve right as the computed ideal line and the real pixels
contributed around the ideal line.
The Fit RMS is the deviation from the ideal line (inlay under the Gauss curve).
