Notes
Tries a couple strategies before giving up: first sextractor, then, if that fails, astrometry.net’s built-in source extractor.
It also cleans up after astrometry.net, keeping only the new FITS file it generates, the .solved file, and, if desired, a ”.failed” file for fields which it fails to solve.
For more flexible invocation of astrometry.net, see call_astrometry()
