msumastro.header_processing.astrometry.call_astrometry(filename, sextractor=False, custom_sextractor_config=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, odds_ratio=None, astrometry_config=None, additional_args=None)

Wrapper around astrometry.net solve-field.

Parameters

sextractorbool or str, optional

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

custom_sextractor_configbool, optional

If True, use a sexractor configuration file customized for Feder images.

feder_settingsbool, optional

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

no_plotsbool, optional

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

minimal_outputbool, optional

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

save_wcsbool, optional

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

verifystr, 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_declist or tuple of float

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

overwritebool, 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.

odds_ratiofloat, optional

The odds ratio to use for a successful solve. Default is to use the default in solve-field.

astrometry_configstr, optional

Name of configuration file to use for SExtractor.

additional_argsstr or list of str, optional

Additional arguments to pass to solve-field
