Match Criteria for Automatic Alignment of Normal Astrograph and Schmidt Plate
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to clarify the tests, checks and clues one may employ to determine whether a feature on a one century old plate is probably identical to a feature on a recent Schmidt plate. A test region of 40arcmin×40arcmin around star HD 42088 was selected in order to detect a variability in nebulosities around Gem OB1 stars.
