Description

Helps astronomy and scientific software convert between image pixels and sky coordinates using the World Coordinate System standard in FITS files. It is useful for tools that process telescope images, catalogs, and astronomical datasets.

This is a C library for developers and scientific applications, not a standalone image viewer. Users normally receive it because an astronomy program needs accurate coordinate handling for FITS data.
