Boyden Station ADH Plates datalink service

The Armagh-Dunsink-Harvard Becker-Schmidt Telescope was deployed at Boyden Station, Maselspoort South Africa between 1965 and 1970. During that time, astronomers from Bamberg, Heidelberg, Hamburg and Münster took astronomical images there, with a focus on old star clusters, the Magellanic clouds, and the southern milky way. This service provides scans of the plates obtained.

DEC An interval (space-separated pair of numbers), where the limits have to be between -75.0567925825929 and -72.00237868780833

 deg

The latitude coordinate

RA An interval (space-separated pair of numbers), where the limits have to be between 2.6858408711683697 and 13.562898244838564

 deg

The longitude coordinate

SCALE A value between 2 and 32

 

Factor to scale the image down before transporting (this does not currently take into account cutout parameters).

POS

 

Region to (approximately) cut out, as Circle, Region, or Polygon

POLYGON A shape on the sky (space-separated numbers in degrees). Maximum extent: 2.6979056912 -75.0567925826 2.6858408712 -72.2229858075 11.8908923667 -72.0023786878 13.5628982448 -74.8092154585

 deg

A polygon (as a flattened array of ra, dec pairs) that should be covered by the cutout.

CIRCLE A shape on the sky (space-separated numbers in degrees). Maximum extent: 7.7012867345 -73.5829353575 2.0118553211

 deg

A circle (as a flattened array of ra, dec, radius) that should be covered by the cutout.

PIXEL_1 An interval (space-separated pair of numbers), where the limits have to be between 1 and 14200

 

Pixel coordinate along axis 1

PIXEL_2 An interval (space-separated pair of numbers), where the limits have to be between 1 and 14200

 

Pixel coordinate along axis 2

KIND Select zero, one, or possibly more options
