CoLiTec: Objects’ identification, astrometric and photometric reduction
DEMO

Dear prospective partners,

We would like to introduce you the results of CoLiTec (CLT) software implementation and the manual.

Statistics MPC
Software of Automatic Detection of Asteroids and Comets CoLiTec (CLT).
CoLiTec (CLT) was used by Leonid Elenin in his discovery of C/2010 X1 (Elenin) comet 10.12.2010 and P/2011 NO1 (Elenin) comet 07.07.2011.
CoLiTec (CLT) was used by A50 and H15 observatories in their discovery of more than 1000 asteroids (from 1.12. 2010).
Ready for collaboration..

Objects’ identification, astrometric and photometric reduction

You can find the main guidance’s characteristics of constellation’s identification on the frame and astrometric/photometric reduction choosing Settings/Parameters/Astrometry (Fig. 2.8). Following settings are available:

- camera rotation angle (field camera rotation [deg]);

- minimal apparent brightness of stars used for identification of magnitude (field magn.threshold (diurn.));

- size of the area downloaded from the catalog for constellations’ identification (field Stars search +/- FOV);

- settings of rough/precise identification on the matching boards.

You can also choose stellar catalog for astrometric (Additionally/catalogue(astrometry)) and photometric (Additionally/catalogue(photometry)) reduction.

The model of plate constants used at the astrometric reduction can be found on the board model.
