(meteorobs) Looking for decent references on Fisheye to Az/El methods

[James Beauchamp]

EXCELLENT paper.  Looks to be exactly what I was looking for.
 
Matlab is pretty awesome, and the imaging toolkit is amazing for working with these kinds of images.

For ASGARD, I use Jiri's method which is documented in the 
following paper :

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1995A%26AS..112..173B

I'm sure there are many ways in matlab to perform a non-linear 
fit for the equations in that paper.
