Astronomers often need to relate positions on an image of the sky to
|
|
positions on the real sky to identify catalogued objects in images,
|
|
tell other people where to look to find an identified object, or to
|
|
compute motions of planets, satellites, asteroids, or comets. WCSTools
|
|
is a package of programs and a library of utility subroutines for
|
|
setting and using the world coordinate systems (WCS) in the headers of
|
|
the most common astronomical image formats, FITS and IRAF .imh, to
|
|
relate image pixels to sky coordinates.
|
|
The Gentoo package is using GNU autotools to produce portable shared
|
|
and static libraried.
