lsst.meas.astrom

Tasks and methods for finding an astrometric solution, including:

• AstrometryTask compute an astrometric solution for a set of sources detected

  on an Exposure

Default subtasks used by AstrometryTask:

• MatchOptimisticBTask match sources to reference objects

• FitTanSipWcsTask fit a TAN-SIP WCS given a list of matches of sources

  and reference objects
