Hello,

This is a broad topic that depends on what you are trying to do. Your message was not very specific.

If you are asking about creating a WCS I suggest you look at:

http://iraf.noao.edu/projects/ccdmosaic/astrometry/astrom.html

This applies to single images as well as mosaics.

If you mean you have two images with accurate WCS then look at the task IMMATCH.WREGISTER.

If you are wanting to register images, possibly without an accurate WCS, look at the tasks in the IMMATCH package.

I hope this helps.

Yours,
Frank Valdes
