    EURONEAR - Tools - MASFO

Description: MASFO is the acronym for "Mega Archive Search Fixed Objects".
It searches for one or few fixed celestial objects (stars, galaxies, nebulae, etc) in the Mega Archive (15 million images by Mar 2018).
Input: Object name (recognized by Simbad) or celestial coordinates (right ascension and declination).
Output: Table with images possible to hold the searched object(s), including the name of the archieve/instrument, image ID, observing date/time (start), exposure time (s), some estimated magnitude limit for the telescope/instrument (in best conditions), filter (and maybe other comments from observer) and the distance between the object and the camera center (in degrees) plus a percentage (compared with a circular field).


Current archieve info:

Searched object or coordinates:
Please enter coordinates (RA & DEC) in the following format: 12:34:56 +15:42:33
If you want to search at once for two objects or sets of positions, then separate them in a few lines.

   


Raw text output
Chose raw output mode to receive a CSV style output. Otherwise, a HTML table output will be produced.

Safety search border (deg):
The size in degrees of a band around the images to accommodate posible pointing errors.

Magnitude:
Approximate magnitude (V) of the object used in regard with estimated limitting magnitudes of the instrument. Leave empty to disregard magnitudes.

Instrument Selection:

AΩA (sq.m × sq.deg × nr.img)
