The archive of AGN spectral observations is obtained on AZT-8
telescope at the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute (FAI), Almaty,
Kazakhstan. It represents the result of observations for abot 25 years
- from 1970 to 1995. All observations were carried out at AZT-8 (D =
700 mm, F[main] = 2800 mm, F[Cassegrain] = 11000 mm) with a high-power
spectrograph. In 1967-68, on the basis of the image intensifier
(https://doi.org/10.1080/1055679031000084795a) developed and assembled
the spectrograph of the original design in the workshops of the FAI.
ARI katkat is a catalog of star catalogues
in the spirit of G. Teleki's catalog of star catalogs
(`1989BOBeo.140..131T`_ and references in there). It contains
2573 catalogs suitable for astrometric usage, starting with Flamsteed
(1835) and ending in the 1970ies. For almost all of them, there
is a column description file (as PDF, and unfortunately sometimes in
German) and the digitized content.

ARI's "Geschichte des Fixsternhimmels" is an attempt to collect all
astrometrically useful observations from before ca. 1970 in a way
comparable to what has been done to construct the FK* series of
fundamental catalogs. About 7e6 published positions are included.
In GAVO's DC, we provide tables of identified and non-identified stars
together with the master catalog that objects were identified against.

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.
This table holds metadata for the “Patrol” and “Meteor” plates from
DASCH, i.e., very wide-field observations presumably not useful in
global discovery. These data products are therefore not re-published
through obscore. For the “narrow” plates, see the narrow_plates table.
This table holds metadata for the parts of DASCH counting as targeted
observations (plate scale below 400 arcsec/mm. “Patrol” and “Meteor”
plates in DASCH nomenclature are found in the wide_plates table.
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.
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.
