Howdy. Please ask your questions and post your experiences about:

- the Astrometry.net web service (http://nova.astrometry.net)
- the command-line code (http://astrometry.net/downloads/)
- the Flickr group Astrometry (http://www.flickr.com/groups/astrometry/)

When reporting a bug, please include the URL to your web submission, or an example image showing the problem. This makes it much easier to track down.

thanks,
dustin

Hi, Your message got flagged for moderation -- sorry about that! I think any backlog has cleared now.

Oh great, thanks. I just tried 4100 series, and it seems that it gives more precise results (so far).
