VMToPhotons:

Path: Imaging/Optics

% Converts apparent visual magnitude to photons/s/micron.
   Includes corrections for temperature and wavelength.
   Inputs can be length 1 or n. If more than one input is of length
   greater than 1 they must have the same length.

   Type VMToPhotons for a demo.

   Since version 11.
