The AAS WorldWide Telescope Sky Aligner

The WWT aligner is a tool to match RGB images (JPEGs, TIFFs, etc) to scientific FITS images and annotate them with spatial information using AVM tags.

The core image-matching algorithm uses the Astrometry.net solver. The WWT Aligner bundles this complex software system inside a Docker container and provides a small “frontend” command-line tool, wwt-aligner, that launches it.

Installation and Documentation

Installation instructions may be found here:

https://docs.worldwidetelescope.org/aligner/latest/installation/

The main documentation may be found here.
