The document collection contains documentation files, where available, for 
this bundle. All document files will have an accompanying label file to 
describe content and structure.  Label files have the same name as the main 
document file, with an extension of ".xml".

night_logs_2003mar-2016mar.txt - Spacewatch 0.9m Mosaic Camera Survey Night Logs from March 2003 through March 2016 - Night logs from the Spacewatch 0.9m Mosaic Camera Survey using the Steward Observatory 0.9m telescope. The night logs are not uniform (some contain relevant comments) and the compilation is not a complete set. The survey ran from 2003 through December 2016. This document does not contain any logs after March 15, 2016 UT. The logs contain the temporary name of the observed region of the sky, which directories originally contained images of that region, the central RA and Dec of the region, the exposure time, and the start time for each of the three visits to that region (or less if three successful visits were not completed). The logs also contain the FWHMs measured at the time; however, the images have been reprocessed since then so the FWHM to use as reference is the one stated in the corresponding XML label. At the time of collection, no attempt was made to insure uniform quality over the set of images; however, if an image was of poor quality, it might not have been included in the night log (even though it had been saved and subsequently reprocessed for this archive for posterity).
