Description:
The Armagh-Dunsink-Harvard Becker-Schmidt Telescope was deployed at Boyden Station, Maselspoort South Africa between 1965 and 1970. During that time, astronomers from Bamberg, Heidelberg, Hamburg and Münster took astronomical images there, with a focus on old star clusters, the Magellanic clouds, and the southern milky way. This service provides scans of the plates obtained.

Description:
Scans of plates kept at Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl. They were obtained at location, at the German-Spanish Astronomical Center (Calar Alto Observatory), Spain, and at La Silla, Chile. The plates cover a time span between 1880 and 1999. Specifically, HDAP is essentially complete for the plates taken with the Bruce telescope, the Walz reflector, and Wolf's Doppelastrograph at both the original location in Heidelberg and its later home on Königstuhl.

Description:
GAVO's historical photographic plate archive (GHHPA) is a collection of various digitized historical photographic plates. It currently exposes: * the scans of plates of selected Kapteyn special fields obtained at Potsdam * the Palomar-Leiden Trojan surveys, 1960-1977, * a collection of plates obtained at Boyden Station, South Africa, kept at various German observatories. Other plate collections kept by GAVO include the Heidelberg Digitized Astronomical Plates HDAP, ivo://org.gavo.dc/lswscans/res/positions/siap, and the APPLAUSE database from Potsdam.

Description:
From 1986 through 1991, the Astronomical Institute of Münster University performed a search for flare stars in several southern associations and open stellar clusters using the GPO telescope (d=40 cm, WFPDB identifier ESO040); the fields suveyed include Coalsack, M42, B228 Lup, the Chameleon T1 association, omicron Vel cluster, R CrA association, the Pipe nebula (B59 Oph), and the Sco-Oph association. This was done primarily through multiple exposures. The files published here are plate scans done in 2017. The obscore collection name for these files is Muenster Flare Survey.

Description:
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.
