astrometry
- Ebuilds: 3, Testing: 0.98, 0.80 Description:
If you have astronomical imaging of the sky with celestial
coordinates you do not know—or do not trust—then Astrometry.net is
for you. Input an image and we'll give you back astrometric
calibration meta-data, plus lists of known objects falling inside
the field of view.

topcat
- Ebuilds: 3, Testing: 4.10.5 Description:
Tool for OPerations on Catalogues And Tables is an interactive
graphical viewer and editor for tabular data. Its aim is to provide
most of the facilities that astronomers need for analysis and
manipulation of source catalogues and other tables, though it can be
used for non-astronomical data as well. It understands a number of
different astronomically important formats (including FITS and
VOTable) and more formats can be added.

wcslib
- Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 8.2.2 Description:
WCSLIB is a C library, supplied with a full set of Fortran wrappers,
that implements the "World Coordinate System" (WCS) convention in FITS
(Flexible Image Transport System). It also includes a PGPLOT-based routine,
PGSBOX, for drawing general curvilinear coordinate graticules and a number of
utility programs.
