Hi,
I finally got astrometry.net to work, including plotting, on OS X 10.8. Tested on a couple of webcam pictures and it solved them perfectly.
Is there a way to get a list of star IDs (i.e. Tycho-2) or objects in the field? My plan was to hook up a camera that'll run all night, run solve on all the images and monitor the brightnesses of all the stars in the field over time. I can see pixel -> RA/Dec information, but having some kind of (unique) catalogue reference for each star would be ideal. I assumed that since the program can plot constellations, it has at least some idea what each source is.
I had a look through the bintables that the solver outputs but I couldn't find anything there.
Cheers,
Josh
