Astrometric Plate Solver built on Astrometry.net and SEP

- An Astrometric Plate Solver for Mac, Linux, and Windows, built on Astrometry.net and SEP (sextractor) - Meant to be an internal library for use in a program like KStars for internal plate solving on all supported operating systems - Python is not required for the library - Netpbm is not required for the library - Internal Library, so calls to external programs are not required - No Astrometry.cfg file is needed, the settings are internal to the program - Directly loads the image data into SEP and then takes the generated xy-list internally from Sextractor into astrometry.net, so there is no need to save any files. - No temporary files need to be created for solving and no WCS file needs to be created to read the solved information. Although astrometry.net does monitor for the creation of 2 files indicating that a field is solved or a cancel was made, so these are created for now. - The Index Files are still required for solving images, but the program or the user can specify the folder locations rather than putting them in the config file.
