> If you have astronomical imaging of the sky with celestial coordinates
> you do not know—or do not trust—then Astrometry.net is for you. Input
> an image and we'll give you back astrometric calibration meta-data,
> plus lists of known objects falling inside the field of view.> We have built this astrometric calibration service to create correct,
> standards-compliant astrometric meta-data for every useful
> astronomical image ever taken, past and future, in any state of
> archival disarray. We hope this will help organize, annotate and make
> searchable all the world's astronomical information.Copyright 2006-2015 Michael Blanton, David W. Hogg, Dustin Lang, Keir
