StarView Version 4.0 Installed
------------------------------
We are pleased to announce the installation of StarView Version 4.0.

StarView 4.0 features:

  * A screen for extracting scans from the complete Digitized Sky
    Survey CD-ROMS (disks 1-102).
  * A new version of SAOimage that displays world coordinates in the
    preview images.
  * Output from a screen may be written to a file to be used as
    cross-correlation input in another screen.

Users of Distributed StarView will notice that the package is a little
smaller now.  That's because StarView now fetches the screen
definitions and help files from STScI via http.  This will help us keep
the screen files updated and corrected here, without requiring you to
install them at your site.

You may download the software via FTP from stdatu.stsci.edu (username:
starftp, password: your email address), or through the HST Archive's
World Wide Web Server (http://stdatu.stsci.edu/dist_starview.html; be
sure to set the "load to local disk" option on your browser before
downloading.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

WWW Access to the Digitized Sky Survey
----------------------------------------
In addition to accessing the Digitized Sky Survey CD-ROMs through
StarView (see above), you can now access them through the World Wide
Web.  Point your browser to

    http://stdatu.stsci.edu/dss/dss_form.html

You can enter either an RA & Dec, or you can use this form's target
name resolver to get the RA/Dec for you, either from SIMBAD or NED.
Scans of up to 60 x 60 arcminutes may be retrieved, with a default of
15 x 15.  (This default scan yields a FITS file of about a little over
500 kilobytes.)

Image formats available are: FITS (uncompressed, gzip compressed,
or Unix compressed), FITS with a generic mime type (to make your
browser save the file to disk instead of trying to display it), and
GIF.
