The Digitized Sky Survey
(DSS) is a repository of digitized data from photographic plates
obtained with the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on Palomar Mountain and the
UK Schmidt Telescope. The grayscale images (luminance, red,
blue, and IR) are available on-line
through the Space
Telescope Science Institute. For the images below, I used the
Palomar
Observatory Sky Survey 2 (POSS2) database
(red and blue filtered
images) and processed them with my previously described Bicolor
Technique (using red instead of Ha, and blue instead of
OIII). The raw data are provided courtesy of the DSS and POSS2,
with acknowledgements found here.
I will add more processed images to this page when time permits.
