GMATCH
That projects is aimed for the solution of the well known problem of all observational astronomers -- the WCS alignement of the images. It is always great to have the possibility to determine the exact J2000 coordinates of each point of the frame. It is always great to not manually align the images before summing them. My program is aimed to solve all those problems. It require only the rough coordinates of the center of frame and rough size, and after that the program automatically query some astronomical catalogues (like USNO), matchthe stars from the catalogues with the detected stars on your frame and write all the WCS descriptors in the FITS file.

• CFITSIO library (by W. Pence)(download from here)
• Standart Java installation (JRE) (it is needed to query the VO resources)
