Abstract:
We plan to digitise the UKST/AAO H-alpha survey of the Southern sky using the SuperCOSMOS facility at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. The digitisation will be performed at 10 microns resolution (0.67 arcsec), and will result in a database of 275 Gbytes of pixel data for the 200 fields of the survey. These data will be processed to produce also a point source catalogue. As the H-alpha survey is an official AAO sky survey, both the pixel data and the point source catalogue will be made available to the community as a service facility. We give details of the digitisation process, archiving of the resulting data and the plans for dissemination of the database.
