Plate data for the USNO-B 1.0 Catalogue.
2003AJ....125..984M
This table contains the metadata for the plates that went into USNO-B 1.0
as best as we can reconstruct it (i.e., largely those that also make
up the Digital Sky Survey DSS). Most of the source files were obtained
from http://www.nofs.navy.mil/data/fchpix/, some additional contributions
came from Dave Monet.

Plate data for the source plates of
USNO-B
This table contains the
metadata for the plates that went into USNO-B 1.0 as best as
we can reconstruct it. Most of the source files were obtained
from http://www.nofs.navy.mil/data/fchpix/, some additional
contributions came from Dave Monet.
Note that, in Dave's words in 2003AJ....125..984M, “some confusion
persists” in plate numbering and assignment. We found this to be
true.
Here is the assignment we have figured out so far:
============================ ==== ==
Survey name USNO We
============================ ==== ==
POSS-I O 0 A
POSS-I E 1 B
POSS-II J 2 C
POSS-II F 3 D
SERC-J 4 E
SERC-EJ 4 E
ESO-R 5 F
SERC-ER 5 F
AAO-R 6 G
POSS-II-N 7 H
SERC-I, non-POSS 8 I
SERC-I, POSS-II-N 9 ? -- does not exist in USNO data
POSS-II, marked with UJ ? X
