Does anyone know of a COTS star pattern identification software?
Obviously, 'lost in space' will also work (might be more expensive,
though).

References to literature/descriptions of relevant algorithms would also
be very useful.

Note: I am looking for a little more detail than "make triangles out of
star centroids in the image, measure the distance between centroids in
the triangle, then compare with a database of same, generated from a
star catalog (correcting for proper motion)."

Thanks!
