Hi, as the title says, astrometry output is reporting this:
log-odds ratio 1498.84 (inf), 325 match, 1 conflict, 223 distractors, 660 index.

but when I open  corresponding .corr file, there are 347 rows(stars). I assume the stars with the match_weight very low are not considered for solving(or they are), but I want to know at which exact value, since, I am using .corr file to estimate solving accuracy.

Cheers

Hi,

The log-odds line is printed out early on, when the match is first found and verified.  The corr file would contain results after any tune-up - and like you said, some matches with low weight might have been counted as distractors in the initial print-out.  The corr file is the thing to believe.

cheers,
dustin
