yldzlama
Yldzlama is a calibration and alignment protocol used in astrogeography to improve the accuracy of celestial position measurements in wide-field imaging. The protocol specifies a sequence of instrument characterization, star-field alignment, and post-processing corrections designed to minimize geometric distortion and atmospheric refraction errors in astrometric data.
Etymology and origin: The term is constructed from a Turkic-inspired root yildiz meaning star, with the attributive
Method overview: Yldzlama comprises three core stages. First, instrument characterization measures optical distortions, detector non-linearity, and
Applications and impact: The protocol is used in both professional observatories and advanced amateur facilities to
Variants and development: Variants such as yldzlama-1 and yldzlama-2 reflect incremental improvements in distortion modeling and
