This app is just a small GUI frontend for a local astrometry.net install. It will allow you to placesolve an image and get basic info along with an annotated image. Handy for seeing the pixel resolution or the rotation.
You must have a local functional astrometry.net install. If it is working command line, this app should work as well. Follow the instructions for your platform to install and get it running.

- If you have a good idea of the pixel resolution, enter it. Otherwise leave it empty and the app will guess.
- If you want the result annotated, check the box. It will take a little longer to solve. If you are just looking for rotation or resolution, don't bother.
You'll need pyinstaller to package this if you make changes
