I wrote a little program to add gausian noise to each pixel. Now Star.exe can find all of the stars in the image, but can only find the x,y coordinates of the stars. I get the dreaded 'match to catalog failed' comment in the generated file. At least the generated RA and DEC are very nearly right for these stars. Still, I would get a warm fuzzy feeling if I could make the match work.
Any comments are welcome.
