A second question from Oleh:
"Would it be possible to add the astrometry.net code for local plate solving for AstroImageJ?".
What can you say about this feature?
From Karen:
Hi Oleh,
This may be possible in the future, but it will not be a near term offering. However, I notice you instructions to install astrometry.net directly on your linux machine at:
http://astrometry.net/doc/net/orientation.html#web-localI will also point out that another userand friend have developed a script that they have contributed that should plate solve images using astrometry.net outside AIJ. The results can then be opened in AIJ. That thread is below in case you find it useful. I am not a native linux user, so have not tested the script, but apparently Robert has good results using it:
