What's Changed
🔭 This release adds improved support for the HEALPIx convention, in native Go lang. This paves the way for subsequent releases to be able to provide an offline first indexed solution to plate solving utilising the GAIA DR2 & DR3 catalogs.
It's worth mentioning that a small refactor also provides a positive improvement to the plate solving accuracy.
