Plate Digitization

Flat bad scanner Epson 1640 XL consortium– Italy(7), Germany(2), Armenia(1), Bulgaria(1),

Russia(2) etc. – (speed: p/week 25-100 GB; res. 16 μ/pix)

Plate size: up to 30x30 cm.More FB scanners: Sonneberg(!),

Konkoly, Bucharest, Spain, USA (MMO) etc.

Future generation scanners – HCO, Bob Simcoe scanner

HyperLeda mirror in SSADC

http://www.skyarchive.org/hyperleda

The scientific goal which motivated the development of former HyperCat was the study of the physics and evolution of galaxies.

Since 2000 HyperCat and LEDA are operated in a common consortium which will offer a merged interface called HyperLeda.

Since 2004 HyperLEDA is mirrored in SSADC, future development

DENIS mirror: contract was signed
