What is ASTROMAGIC:
The software allows the user to extract highly accurate astrometric measurements of sources from FITS images. In particular, its capabilities extend to frames exposed with non-sidereal tracking, and to images on which the target detection is elongated or trailed.
In the PRO version, it is possible to perform measurements on a stacked image.
