Abstract

In this paper we presented the new method for selection of the reference stars to carry out the astrometric reduction of sky images. The presented algorithm takes into account the main features of the formation of astronomical measurements in CCD-frames. Also to improve the accuracy and speed up processing the proposed method includes verification of candidates to the reference stars and excluding them if needed based on the specific rule. This computational method was successfully tested in the software for automated search and detection of asteroids, comets and satellites in a series of CCD-frames within the CoLiTec project. The comparative analysis of the accuracy of astronomical measurements of the Solar System small bodies by CoLiTec and Astrometrica software was performed as a result of research. The developed method for selection of the reference stars provides the high accuracy of measurements of celestial objects in digital images.
