The AAS WorldWide Telescope Sky Aligner: Backend Module

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.

This portion of the source code implements the “backend”: the wwt-aligner-agent command-line program and the tools to build a Docker container that encapsulates it. This backend is driven by the “frontend”, a small program that orchestrates to launching of the Docker app on a user machine.

The wwt-aligner program is part of the AAS WorldWide Telescope system and its development was sponsored by the Space Telescope Science Institute.
