SuperCOSMOS Sky Surveys (SSS)

Users can extract images (pixel data) up to 15 arcmin across and/or object catalogues covering up to 100 sq. degrees. The data cover three wavebands (BRI), with one colour (R) represented at two epochs.

First-time visitors are encouraged to read the Introduction and relevant pages under Documentation.

The examples page is a good starting point if you're unfamiliar with astronomical coordinates and explains how to extract images of some interesting objects.
