Credit or citation for using astrometry.net through API

[Li-Wei Hung]

Hi Dustin or other astrometry.net people, 

I am an astronomer with the US National Park Service. I am writing a paper on a new camera system we developed to image the night sky to quantify light pollution in national parks. As a part of the data processing, we used your web service through API. 

How can I give you the proper credit in the paper that I am writing? 

Thank you,

Li-Wei

Wow I’m so pleased! The primary citation for the project is this:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C33&q=astrometry.net&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&t=1712833261729&u=%23p%3D_mMHyo8a75QJ

Please cite that! But if you also want to include this line in your acknowledgment, we wouldn’t object:

This project made use of the Astrometry.net system for automatic identification and calibration of astronomical images.

Hi,

Here's the citation information:

If you are able to share a preprint when the paper is ready, we'd love to see it -- it's always great to see what people do with Astrometry.net!

Best wishes,
