About
Astrometry.net is an open-source project designed for the automatic recognition and calibration of astronomical images. It takes an input image and returns astrometric calibration metadata, along with lists of known celestial objects within the field of view. This tool is invaluable for astronomers and researchers who work with images where celestial coordinates are unknown or untrusted, helping to organize, annotate, and make astronomical information searchable. The project is developed on GitHub and offers documentation, a web service, and Docker containers for easy deployment and use.
