Description


VOPSAT is a set of southern sky digital surveys based on ESO-R, SRC-J and POSS1-E atlases. The plates have been digitized with the MAMA microdensitometer with a resolution of 0.7 arc-sec. Pixel resampling will allow mosaicing neighbouring Schmidt fields up to hundreds of square degrees.
