The MAST GALEX team provides separate tutorials for the GALEX web site. While the GALEX site and interface have many things in common with the rest of MAST, there are some differences due to a difference in servers and software.

This tutorial currently does not contain information about the Guide Star Catalog (GSC) interfaces and data. Please see the GSC web pages for additional information.
