Mellinger color optical survey survey collection
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Using a portable low-cost CCD camera system, 70 fields (each covering 40deg x 27deg) were imaged over a time span of 22 months from dark-sky locations in South Africa, Texas, and Michigan.
Description
The fields were photometrically calibrated against standard catalog stars. Using sky background data from the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes, gradients resulting from artificial light pollution, airglow, and zodiacal light were eliminated, while the large-scale galactic and extragalactic background resulting from unresolved sources was preserved.
The 648 megapixel image is a valuable educational tool, being able to fully utilize the resolution and dynamic range of modern full-dome planetarium projection systems.
