        ================================================================================================
        Azimuth/Elevation converter for `Astrometry.net <https://github.com/dstndstn/astrometry.net>`_
        ================================================================================================
        
        .. contents::
        
        Note: If you want to work with the intermediate steps (source extraction) or photometry, `see my AstroPy-based examples <https://github.com/scivision/starscale>`_.
        
        Prerequisites
        =============
        `Astrometry.net 0.67 <https://scivision.co/setting-up-astrometry-net-program/>`_ or newer 
        
        or, use the `astrometry.net cloud service--handy for Windows users <http://nova.astrometry.net/upload>`_ 
        
        Installation
        ============
        ::
        
          python -m pip install -e .
        
        Astrometry.net index files
        --------------------------
        If you use astrometry.net on your PC, you may need to install the index files and setup your config file to point at them::
        
          sudo ./get_data.sh
        
        
        Command line options
        =====================
        --h5         write az/el et al to HDF5
        --mat        write az/el et al to .mat Matlab save file
        --png        write az/el et al to PNG
        -h           to see all the options you can use
        
        Examples
        =========
        
        Astrometry.net installed on your PC:
        ------------------------------------
        ::
        
          python PlateScaleFITS.py myimg.fits -c 61.2 -149.9 -t 2013-04-02T12:03:23Z --h5 --png
        
        gives HDF5 .h5 with az/el ra/dec and PNG plots of the data. Both files contain the same data, just
        for your convenience.
        
        The 61.2 -149.9 is your WGS84 coordinates, 2013-04-02T12:03:23Z is UTC time of the picture.
        
        wcs.fits from the Astrometry.net WEBSITE:
        ------------------------------------------
        first rename wcs.fits to myimg.wcs::
        
          python PlateScaleFITS.py myimg.wcs -c 61.2 -149.9 -t 2013-04-02T12:03:23Z --h5 --png
