On behalf of the Spitzer Space Telescope
user community, the Spitzer
Science Center (SSC) is conducting a
First-Look
Survey (FLS). The extragalactic
component of the FLS was executed on
Spitzer in December, 2003.
The National
Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO)
provided four nights of Director's
Discretionary time for an R-band survey with
the MOSAIC camera on the Kitt Peak 4m telescope
to support the FLS. Approximately 30 pointings
with MOSAIC were obtained covering the entire
FLS region centered at J1718+5930. They are
outlined in
figure 1 and in the image above.
If you publish results based on these data,
please use this paper reference and
acknowledgment.

NOTE:
These data are also available from the
Spitzer Science Center and the NOAO Science
Archive. The headers of the FITS files
available here have minor changes to make them
fully FITS compliant; the science content is
unchanged. Details of the header changes are
here.
The available images are represented as
red
overlays on the
2MASS background sky mosaic image above.
SExtractor catalog sources, bad pixel and
exposure maps are available on the search
results pages, for the associated images.
Either type in a coordinate or click on any red
region to get a close-up of the area; the size
of the search is adjustable.
Also available are FLS_MAIN_R
image "cutouts"
using IRSA's
Cutouts Service, which is a general tool to create single or multiple small FITS
(and JPEGs) image cutouts of datasets archived at IRSA.
