Baldone Observatory Asteroid Data Processing Tools
Upload FITS frames and quickly validate whether a selected asteroid is inside the field of view. If WCS is missing, the app can auto-run plate solving (astrometry.net) and continue with the solved frame. It reads key FITS metadata, renders a practical image preview with visual fine-tuning, checks asteroid designation against local cache and MPC ephemeris, and marks in-frame positions directly on the image. For out-of-field targets it also shows offsets, estimated timing context, and telescope RA/Dec correction suggestions to place the object at frame center.
