Astrometry.net<\/a> describes their project like this:<\/p>\n

If you have astronomical imaging of the sky with celestial coordinates you do not know\u2014or do not trust\u2014then Astrometry.net<\/em> 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The intersection of photography, data and crowdsourcing, with either the photography or the data or both will be an interesting space to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
