We have released several of these see Getting Index Files. This release includes a snapshot of all of the components of our current research code, including routines to: Convert raw USNO-B and Tycho2 into FITS format for easier use Uniformize, deduplicate, and cut the FITSified catalogs Build index files from these cuts Solve the astrometry of images using these index files The code includes: A simple but powerful HEALPIX implementation The QFITS library with several modifications libkd, a compact and high-performance kdtree library The code requires index files, processed from an astrometric reference catalog such as USNO-B1 or 2MASS. Over the years, it has become more robust and usable for a wider audience, but it s still neither totally easy nor bug-free. Mierle, K., Blanton, M., & Roweis, S., 2010, : Blind astrometric calibration of arbitrary astronomical images, Astronomical Journal 137, The original purpose of this code release was to back up the claims in the paper in the interest of scientific repeatability. This code is accompanied by the paper: Lang, D., Hogg, D.
