The First Byurakan Survey (FBS) is the largest and the first systematic objective prism survey of the extragalactic sky. It covers 17,000 sq.deg. in the Northern sky together with a high galactic latitudes region in the Southern sky. The FBS has been carried out by B.E. Markarian, V.A. Lipovetski and J.A. Stepanian in 1965-1980 with the Byurakan Observatory 102/132/213 cm (40"/52"/84") Schmidt telescope using 1.5 deg. prism. Each FBS plate contains low-dispersion spectra of some 15,000-20,000 objects; the whole survey consists of about 20,000,000 objects.
VO-compliant publication of Schmidt survey ESO-R of the southern sky digitized with the MAMA microdensitometer at the Observatoire de Paris Image Analysis Centre (CAI).

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.
