Potsdam Kapteyn series datalink service

In the context of Kapteyn's plan to obtain a photometric standard, in Potsdam more than 400 photographic plates of several Selected Areas, Special Areas, and Kapteyn-Pritchard areas were obtained between 1910 and 1933, both as direct images and with an object prism. This service provides FITS images of the science area of the plates as well as images of the entire plates, including previous markings.

DEC An interval (space-separated pair of numbers), where the limits have to be between 11.552319236930353 and 18.457531235618102

 deg

The latitude coordinate

RA An interval (space-separated pair of numbers), where the limits have to be between 285.2498795598046 and 292.590232346375

 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

 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 17300

 

Pixel coordinate along axis 1

PIXEL_2 An interval (space-separated pair of numbers), where the limits have to be between 1 and 16900

 

Pixel coordinate along axis 2
