Aafitrans (AstroAlign FInd TRANSform)

Aafitrans is a Python package that provides a modified version of the find_transform function from the Astroalign package. The modifications made to the function are as follows:

• The sep and bottleneck packages are no longer required as dependencies.
• Offers greater flexibility by supporting all transformations available in the skimage library.
• The seed parameter can be set during each run to ensure reproducibility of results.
• The kdtree_search_radius parameter can be set to achieve better and faster matches.

I have only made minor modifications to the source code to achieve the above. All credit goes to the original Astroalign authors for developing such amazing software.
