Here are a few of its features:

>Fitsblink is a program for analysis of astronomical images, especially of asteroids and comets. It has the following features: 

>     On-screen comparison of the FITS images. It can load and display a number of images, each with its own grey level correction and translation relative to other
>     images. The images can be alternately displayed with an adjustable time delay between them; 
>     fitsblink can load images in FITS, compressed FITS (.fts.Z) or gzipped FITS (.fts.gz) formats; 
>     if the header contains correct WCS keywords, it will show the celestial coordinates at the cursor position; 
>     images can be displayed in grey level or color mode; 
>     Fitsblink can create star lists, import star lists, match star lists with GSC and USNO SA catalogs; 
>     after successful match with a catalog it is possible to do astrometry and mail results in MPC format.
