Plate solving is a mathematical technique used to register deep sky photographs to a star catalog, assigning each pixel an astronomical position, and identifying deep sky objects (DSO). It is quite cool to see, can help with the color calibration of astrophotos, and provides a sense of the relative size of each DSO in our night sky.
