(User Table Upload)
Table Upload Instructions: The input table should contain a list of coordinates or astronomical object names; a (cutout) size column is optional. Please see allowed table format information. A cutout size may be specified in a column in the input table, allowing for a different cutout size per position. Or, to have the same size cutouts for all input positions, specify one value in the Uniform Cutout size field below. Example table.
