astrometry.net
is a very interesting tool to determine astrometric information
from an astronomical image.
This applet creates AVM
metadata information from the newheader.fits file which
is created by astrometry.net.
Additionally a link is created for displaying the image
in Microsoft's World
Wide Telescope (WWT)
If you don´t have an astrometry.net account (yet)
you can click demo and see a sample fits header file and
the resulting avm metadata, resp. the url for WWT. |
