(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)[source]¶ Wrapper around astrometry.net solve-field.
Parameters: sextractor : bool or str, optional
True
to use sextractor, or astr
with the path to sextractor.custom_sextractor_config : bool, optional
If
True
, use a sexractor configuration file customized for Feder images.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_wcssave_wcs : bool, optional
If
True
, save WCS header even if other output is suppressed with minimial_outputverify : 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.
