IMPORTANT: q.rd, README, and bin/ are currently *both* in the GAVO SVN and at https://github.com/aramknyazyan/ArVO_DaCHs.git It is currently being synchronised between the two (if at all) by hand. These are the full plate scans of the DFBS. They were scraped off a machine in Trieste that, in turn, was a clone of the machine on which DFBS extraction was done. The original files had various problems; in particular the astrometric calibration still was DSS-style, and many headers had non-ASCII in them. The local bin/addstandardheaders.py fixes that as far as possible, also adding metadata from WFPDB. The WFPDB doesn't have all plates; for the missing ones, there's data/fallback_meta as provided by the Italian group who did the extraction (but it's less complete). Quite a few FITSes are still broken: * fbs0584, fbs0587, fbs1165, fbs1187, fbs1824M didn't receive a header, it seems. Recovering them might be possible if it were found worthwhile. * fbs0323, fbs1825M, fbs1828M, fbs1830M, fbs1831M, fbs1832M, fbs1834M, fbs1834_, fbs1835M, fbs1836M, fbs1837M, fbs1838M, fbs1839M, fbs1840M, fbs1841M, fbs1842M, fbs1875, fbs1882, fbs1883, fbs2064, fbs2231, fbs2234, fbs2235, fbs2237, fbs2242, fbs2243, fbs2244, fbs2247 are not in WFPDB. If they were entered there, they'd probably just work. * fbsanon+38_cor -- who knows? * there are extra plates that are either failed observations or anyway not objective prism exposures, and that are missing in WFPDB. There's some metadata on them in dfbs-supplement.csv that would need to be applied. Since some of them are so broken that the FITS grammar rejects them, I've moved them out of the way (to data/broken in Heidelberg). There's still a trigger in the q.rd only accepts plates with updated headers. It'll know them by the presence of the WFPDB-ID header. The test set is fbs0017_cor.fits in order to enable test across dfbs and dfbsspec's test set.
