msumastro.header_processing.astrometry.call_astrometry(filename, sextractor=False, feder_settings=True, no_plots=True, minimal_output=True, save_wcs=False, verify=None, ra_dec=None, overwrite=False, wcs_reference_image_center=True)

Wrapper around astrometry.net solve-field.

Parameters:

sextractor : bool or str, optional

True to use sextractor, or a str with the path to sextractor.

feder_settings : bool, optional

Set True if you want to use plate scale appropriate for Feder Observatory Apogee Alta U9 camera.

no_plots : bool, optional

True to suppress astrometry.net generation of plots (pngs showing object location and more)

minimal_output : bool, optional

If True, suppress, as separate files, output of: WCS header, RA/Dec object list, matching objects list, but see also save_wcs

save_wcs : bool, optional

If True, save WCS header even if other output is suppressed with minimial_output

verify : str, optional

Name of a WCS header to be used as a first guess for the astrometry fit; if this plate solution does not work the solution is found as though verify had not been specified.

ra_dec : list or tuple of float

(RA, Dec); also limits search radius to 1 degree.

overwrite : bool, optional

If True, perform astrometry even if astrometry.net files from a previous run are present.

wcs_reference_image_center :

If True, force the WCS reference point in the image to be the image center.
