Why cant we navigate in DR8 in the SDSS

  • williamaskew by williamaskew

    I cant seem to be able to navigate east, west, north, south., once I press 'get image' in the finding chart tool. In the old G Zoo we could access that no problem.It helped if you were establishing the red shift of two objects close to one another, to tell if they were possibly merging or not,especially with ellipticals!

    You need to click on "Navi" (top left of screen)

    One way to 'navigate' is to note the RA, Dec and then enter slightly different numbers. One second works out to 0.000277 degrees, so nudging the values in the 4th decimal or so works. VERY tedious.

    Another approach is to use the Nieghbors option. This selects adjacent items in the frame, based on the distance from the frame centre. Your have to continually go back 'two spaces' to return to the original object though.

    Is there a way to get to DSDD concurrent to classifying items? You only get the GalaxyZoo Examine/Skysearch/DSDD options after/during posting a comment, which is too late to make use of your DSDD findings.
