The Digitized Sky Survey is in the public domain. The DSS
was produced at the Space Telescope Science Institute under U.S.
Government grant NAG W-2166. The images of these surveys are based
on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on
Palomar Mountain and the UK Schmidt Telescope. The plates were
processed into the present compressed digital form with the
permission of these institutions.
KPNO AOP: http://www.noao.edu/outreach/aop/
The Advanced Observing Program at Kitt Peak National Observatory
is a public program in which participants use the high-tech
resources of the Kitt Peak Visitor Center Observatory to create
their own film or digital images of objects in the night sky. All
images are freely available for non-commercial use in electronic
form, but may not be printed on paper without written permission.
