Publication Citation for use of Astrometry.net

[Rachael Beaton]

Hello -- 

I have been using Astrometry.net for getting astrometric solutions for professional images. We are planning a paper/letting using one of those images. What is the preferred means of citing use of this cite?

I see the list of existing papers -- but not a clear statement on how you would like to be cited and/or acknowledged. 

Also -- do you want to keep track of published papers using the service? If so, who should I contact.

Thanks!

Thanks for your note.  Please just cite Lang et al 2010,

We would be happy to hear about your paper when it appears (you could post a link on this forum), but you are under no obligation to do so.

We should make this clear on the astrometry.net site....

cheers,
