docker-astrometry

Docker container for Astrometry.net.

Usage

The docker container is directly executable and passes all command-line arguments directly to solve-field.

$ docker run bsease/astrometry:latest

To process images, you'll need to map in catalog files and a directory containing the target image

$ docker run -v /path/to/catalogs:/data \
             -v /path/to/work/dir:/work \
             bsease/astrometry:latest target_image.fits

The default configuration file is in /etc/astrometry.cfg. You can override it using docker:

$ docker run -v /path/to/catalogs:/data \
             -v /path/to/work/dir:/work \
             -v /path/to/atrometry.cfg:/etc/astrometry.cfg \
             bsease/astrometry:latest target_image.fits

or by using the solve-field command-line arguments.

$ docker run -v /path/to/catalogs:/data \
             -v /path/to/work/dir:/work \
             -v /path/to/atrometry.cf:/etc/astrometry.cfg \
             bsease/astrometry:latest target_image.fits \
             --config /work/astrometry.cfg
