Hi Magnus,

I am not aware of a server version of astrometry.net that will talk directly to AIJ locally that runs under linux, but astrometry.net can be installed under linux to plate solve images. The difference is that the plate solving would need to be done outside AIJ in the local astrometry.net installation, and then loaded into AIJ.

Linux AIJ users,

It would be great if a linux expert could figure out how to run astrometry.net as a server under linux so that AIJ could talk to it directly (i.e. the same as with ansvr). I would not be of much help since I didn't develop ansvr, and I'm not a linux expert, but I might could point someone in the right direction. Just let me know here if you could possibly accomplish this task.

Hi!

I understand that there is an offline plate solving option for Windows, throught the ansrv. Is there any similar solution for Linux?
