Included is a small subset of the freely available Tycho-2 star catalogue, which can be used for testing the installation: cd /usr/local/astrometry/examples; ../bin/solve-field.exe apod4.jpg For a comprehensive sky catalogue, see http://trac.astrometry.net/browser/trunk/src/astrometry/GETTING-INDICES category: Science requires: cairo libcairo2 python-cairo libnetpbm10 netpbm libpng14 libjpeg8 zlib zlib0 python python-numpy pkg-config cygwin sdesc: "Astrometry.net astrometrical solver." ldesc: "Astrometry.net analyses an astronomical image (photograph of the night sky) to output, among other things, the central coordinate of the image, the visible field of view, and the list of deep sky objects potentially visible within the field." -- jussi
