Abstract

The UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST) of the Anglo-Australian Observatory completed a narrow-band Halpha plus [Nii] 6548, 6584A-survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Magellanic Clouds in late 2003. The survey, which was the last UKST wide-field photographic survey and the only one undertaken in a narrow-band, is now an online digital data product of the Wide-Field Astronomy Unit of the Royal Observatory Edinburgh (ROE). The original survey films were scanned by the SuperCOSMOS measuring machine at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, to provide the online digital atlas called the SuperCOSMOS Halpha Survey (SHS). The SuperCOSMOS Halpha Survey - digitized H-alpha photographic survey of the Southern Galactic Plane, taken by the AAO/UKST was resampled in Healpix by CDS. Original acknowledgement for data: Parker et al 2005 MNRAS,
