Abstract

(Abstract only) DASCH is “Digital Access to a Sky Century at Harvard,” the effort to digitize approximately 530,000 astronomical plates in the Harvard College Observatory collection. We currently have over 900,000,000 magnitude estimates from the 10,000 plates that we have scanned. This paper presents our web photometry interface which allows access to all of our light curves and their underlying scanned images.
