Incredible angle math!
« on: 2016 January 18 08:57:29 »
Sitting here doing some image registrations, and I saw a summary fly past stating that the image was rotated by -180.07 deg relative to the master frame. How does PI know this? How can it know that the rotation wasn't actually +179.93 deg?

It would seem to me that a -180.07 rotation is equivalent to a +179.93 one. Are you saying it is not? If you asking why PI chooses one over the other? I would only be guessing.

Both are equivalent, but StarAlignment should always report rotation angles in the (-180,+180] range, so this is a bug. It will be fixed in the next version, thanks for detecting it.
