I believe the site you're looking for is Astrometry.net. -- David Tiller Lead Consultant/Architect | CapTech Ventures -----Original Message----- From: seesat-l-bounces+dtiller=captechventures.com@satobs.org on behalf of George Roberts Sent: Fri 8/6/2010 11:25 AM To: seesat-l@satobs.org Subject: Identifying stars in an image About a year or two ago there was some discussion of a google service that identifies stars in a random image of the sky without having to know the angle, rotation, mirror image, zoom, whatever of the photo. You can take a picture that is only 30 arc seconds wide and the service found it! It was amazingly good considering the algorithmic issues. The service is not public and you have to request access. I have access but I can't for the life of me remember what it is called. Once I get a hint I'll be able to find the old emails but I have about 40,000 emails. So: 1) Does anyone remember the name of this service? 2) If not the name can you point me to a date when I posted to seesat-l about this (I think it was about 2 years ago)? 3) Once I find the service again, does anyone want my account and password so you can do your own searches? Or alternatively the contact person? I searched through seesat-l archives of my postings. I searched through my emails. I googled it. I can't find it. - George Roberts http://gr5.org _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
