I'm splitting of into a new thread since I'll keep pulling Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey off topic if I continue there.
As a summary, I'm on a mission to find the raw plates from the Digitized Sky Survey which is (I think anyway) the digitized version of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey. So far I've found a set of 102 cd's that can be found in about 22 libraries world wide and I've also just found What appears to be a repository of some of the plates (Under "Browseable Directories").
I'm going to try to scrape the plates from Caltech's website and see if I can find the plates that match the targets in the paper.
If anyone has suggestions for specific analysis to run, let me know and I'll see if I can implement it. I'll also try to make a github repository at some point too.
