Description

Identifies the sky coordinates in astronomical images automatically, a process often called plate solving. It is useful for astrophotography, telescope alignment, image annotation, and research data processing.

Plate solving depends on image quality and reference indexes. Keep original images and verify solutions before using coordinates for scientific or telescope-control decisions.
