Wordpress Astrometry.net Plugin

Welcome to my first Wordpress Plugin. It is an Plugin, that provides a Gutenberg block, which uses astrometry.net for solving an astronomical image.

What it does

  • Solving astronomic images via astrometry.NET
  • Colored annotations by different catalogues (HD, Bright, NGC, IC, the ones, which are delivered by astrometry.net)
  • Globally turn on Messier Objects to override NGC
  • Global settings administration page: Decide wether to show the celestial grid or not. Choose colors of catalogues and grid
  • All annotations are stylable via custom CSS as they are SVG objects
  • Image zoom / monochrome-invert switch
  • Zoomable skyplot
  • Astrometry data output (RA,Dec,Field) and photografic details output (frames, exposuretime, date, equipment) below image
  • Extended wordpress search (Tags like M101 are stored in customfields)
  • Default localisation is english, a german localisation is also included
