+ Astronomers often need to relate positions on an image of the sky to
+ positions on the real sky to identify catalogued objects in images,
+ tell other people where to look to find an identified object, or to
+ compute motions of planets, satellites, asteroids, or comets. WCSTools
+ is a package of programs and a library of utility subroutines for
+ setting and using the world coordinate systems (WCS) in the headers of
+ the most common astronomical image formats, FITS and IRAF .imh, to
+ relate image pixels to sky coordinates.
+ The Gentoo package is using GNU autotools to produce portable shared
+ and static libraried.
