Digitized Sky Survey
(DSS)
(digitization of Palomar and UK Schmidt plates)
The Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) is
digitizations of
plates from surveys of the pre-CCD age.
Its initial effort was digitizing plates from
the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) and the UK Schmidt Survey
to produce the Guide Star Catalog (GSC) for HST observations.
Subsequent efforts with plates of other surveys
are termed DSS2.
