Alternative software solutions:

• SourceXtractor++ for source detection and measurement, still bleeding edge, but it installs via conda (Warning: follow the advice to install this in a separate env!) astrorama/SourceXtractorPlusPlus

• Many professional image reduction pipelines built upon the Astromatic suite (https://www.astromatic.net, astromatic). One very nice way of using these is via THELI v3: schirmermischa/THELI

• Alternative way of running astrometry.net from within python: https://pypi.org/project/astrometry/
