Helpdesk / FAQ

The National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) provided four nights of Director's Discretionary time for an R-band survey with the MOSAIC camera on the Kitt Peak 4m telescope. The data were obtained in May 2000. We measure a 5-sigma sensitivity in a 2 arcsecond aperture of R=25.5. Approximately 30 pointings with MOSAIC were obtained covering the entire extragalactic First Look Survey region. The MOSAIC pointings are covering the main survey field centered at 1718+5930 and outlined in figure 1. In addition, pointings in the ELAIS N1 field were also obtained as this was originally planned to be part of the extragalactic FLS. This region is now part of the SWIRE Legacy program. The pointings obtained are outlined in figure 2.

Retrieve Data

Images and catalogs can be retrieved from the Spitzer Science Center and will soon also be available from the NOAO Science Archive.
