If you just want to acknowledge the use of the software, there is
no need to cite. See page 76 of ... SUN/139.
I'd use something similar to a book. There is of course a publisher.
Draper P.W., Taylor M., Allan A., 2006, CCDPACK - CCD data reduction
package - version 4.0, Starlink User Note 139, Particle Physics &
Astronomy Research Council, Didcot
Pretending Starlink User Note is a journal known the world over
is indeed not very helpful for astronomers that don't know what
Starlink was.
