I would approach this as a "bitmap" problem. Let the image be, say 10000 x 10000. Plot the (center of) the stars on the image (just like setting a pixel but using the star index instead of a color) and then test a window of area about each star to pull out the adjacent stars to check for colinearity [the original star can be the center of the triplet]. The image would be plotted in RAM and I would be using ASM for the window extraction.
PS: I can help with the ASM code, if you want.
I thank you for the offer. I think I have enought information/confusion on results now to try and figure out why they are colinear. I'm meeting monday with the astronomy dept at USC later to discuss what I've run into.
Thanks George
