astrometry

1–30 of 1388

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

Give astrometry.net data(array) instead of fits/jpeg

Is it possible to give data/array to solve-field instead of fits image? Maybe like this: hdul = fits.
