(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)[source]¶ Wrapper around astrometry.net solve-field.
- Parameters
- sextractorbool or str, optional
True
to use sextractor, or astr
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
