Re: [ITP] astrometry.net-0.38


Hi --

here's a package that our project
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/astromate/) would benefit immensely
from, as the
routine of installing cygwin, selecting (all of the) the required
packages and compiling astrometry.net is beyond the skills of
the target audience (amateur astronomers).

Included is a small subset of the freely available Tycho-2 star
catalogue, which can be used for testing the
installation:

cd /usr/local/astrometry/examples; ../bin/solve-field.exe apod4.jpg

For a comprehensive sky catalogue, see
http://trac.astrometry.net/browser/trunk/src/astrometry/GETTING-INDICES

category: Science
requires: cairo libcairo2 python-cairo libnetpbm10 netpbm libpng14
libjpeg8 zlib zlib0 python python-numpy pkg-config cygwin
sdesc: ? ?"Astrometry.net astrometrical solver."
ldesc: ? ?"Astrometry.net analyses an astronomical image (photograph of the
night sky) to output, among other things, the central coordinate of the image,
the visible field of view, and the list of deep sky objects potentially
visible within the field."

The package files are in
http://rubor.org/astrometrytortilla/astrometry.net
