       stars from the catalog if n is the number of detected stars
       (otherwise the catalog might be so crowded with stars that
        one spot is correlated with many catalog stars)

   * catalog/StarCatalog.cc:
     - fixed that when checking for the region in which stars will
       be searched only the y- but not the x-offset has been taken into
       account
     - added a small region around the region of interest because 
       the catalog position of visible stars might be out of the
