Pick with Moffat profile
See original GitHub issueCurrently ginga pick can do the fitting only by Gaussian.
But the Moffat profile is a more reasonable and realistic stellar profile, and Moffat has already been implemented to astropy: astropy.modeling.functional_models.Moffat1D.
I think giving flexibility of using both Gaussian and Moffat will greatly improve the reliability of the FWHM values of ginga pick when we use it for star finding (e.g., DAOStarFinder of photutils).

Hmm. Try starting Ginga outside of
~/.ginga. That is, try this:Then if you see any errors on the terminal, copy and paste it in your reply.
@ysBach, feel free to close the issue if you are satisfied with the result.
