COMPASS Database

- A new GSC-II load script was written to handle the production header file operations;

- A task was developed and executed to reset GSC1.2 calibrations to repair an error in production;

- ApplyCalibs checks the load status of a plate;

- ApplyCalibs detects large coordinate adjustments for QA of calibration.

CALIBRATIONS: Astrometry

CALIBRATIONS: Classification

CALIBRATIONS: Photometry (GSPC-II and DSS-I and -II)

S1. Low priority program to rescan crowded fields (|b|<30) originally done with 25 mu scans. The total number of S scans includes the 2 for the LMC and SMC plus 4 others with |b|>30 performed for research or STIS BOP support.

S2. This survey is an on-going low level-of-effort collaboration between the ST ScI and the AAO. About 25-50 plates have been added in each of the past few years.

S3. Low priority scans of the POSS-I -24 deg and -30 deg zones.

S4. Includes recent scans of better grade plates.
