stsci.edu (130.167.1.2) has a large amount of information about the |
Hubble Space Telescope available by anonymous FTP, such as status |
reports and newsletters, in addition to material oriented towards HST |
observers and proposers. Get the top level README file to begin with. |
Contact Pete Reppert ([email protected]) or Chris O'Dea |
The Space Telescope European Coordination Facility, at ESO/Garching |
provides on-line access to a huge astronomical database, featuring |
- Observation log files of several satellites/telescopes |
- Spectra and images (IUE, HST). |
- Most of the astronomical catalogues (SAO, HR, NGC, PPM, IRAS, |
Veron, GSC and many others, more than 50) in a very convenient |
way (give center+radius+kind of objects, and you get the |
corresponding files!). |
Log on as ``starcat'' (no password) on node stesis.hq.eso.org |
(134.171.8.100) or on STESIS (DECnet). The files created can be |
retreived by FTP. Contact: Benoit Pirenne, [email protected] (phone +49 |
89 320 06 433) at ST-ECF |
The full SAO stellar database is *NOT* available online, probably due to |
the 40 MB size. It may be ordered on magnetic tape from the NSSDC. A |
subset containing position and magnitude only is available by FTP (see |
"Astronomy Programs" below). |
nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) has a large collection of astronomical |
programs for many types of computers, databases of stars and deep sky |
objects, and general astronomy information in directory /pub/astro. This |
site is mainly for European users, but overseas connections are |
possible. |
The Ames archives contain a database of 8,436 galaxies including name, |
RA, declination, magnitude, and radial velocity in MISC/galaxy.dat. |

iris1.ucis.dal.ca (129.173.18.107) has a number of GIFs from Voyager, |
Hubble, and other sources available by anonymous FTP in pub/gif (most of |
this data is also in SPACE/GIF on the Ames server). Please restrict |
access to 5pm - 8am Atlantic time. |
pomona.claremont.edu has the Yale Bright Star catalog for anonymous FTP |
in directory [.YALE_BSC]. Contact James Dishaw |
The Hubble Guide Star catalog is available on CD-ROM for the Mac and PC |
for $49.95 US (catalog # ST101). |

For German (and possibly other European) readers, Jost Jahn has a |
service to distribute astronomical data to interested amateurs at cost. |
About 30-40 catalogs are available for DM 6..8/disk. Several floppy disk |
formats are available. Because of the expense of receiving email on his |
system, he asks that you contact him by physical mail: |

Various astronomy-related programs and databases posted to the net in |
the past are archived for anonymous FTP at multiple sites, including |
ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9). Also see the ASTRO-FTP list posted to sci.astro |
monthly, which is more complete than this list. |

"ephem", has offered to mail copies to people who can't find it on one |
of the archives. |
XSAT, an X Window System based satellite tracking program, is |
available by anonymous FTP from export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12) in |
contrib/xsat1.0.tar.Z. Contact Dave Curry ([email protected]) |
for more information. |
Xsky, a computerized sky atlas for the X Window System, is available for |
anonymous FTP on arizona.edu in the directory [.SOFTWARE.UNIX.XSKY] as |
xsky.tarz. Contact Terry R. Friedrichsen ([email protected]) for |
more information. |
The "Variable Stars Analysis Software Archive" is available via |
anonymous FTP from kauri.vuw.ac.nz (130.195.11.3) in directory |
pub/astrophys. This is intended for specialists in this field, and they |
would appreciate people from outside New Zealand confining their FTP |
access to the astrophys directory, as they pay a significant amount for |
Internet access. Contents are relatively sparse at present due to the |
youth of the archive - contributions are encouraged. Contact the archive |
administrator, Timothy Banks ([email protected]) for more |
information. |
The "IDL Astronomy Users Library" is available by anonymous FTP from |
idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov (128.183.57.82). This is a central repository for |
general purpose astronomy procedures written in IDL, a commercial image |
processing, plotting, and programming language. Contact Wayne Landsman |
([email protected]) for more information. |
