The galaxy pictures beyond the edge.

[Katulobotomia]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I was wondering if there was a way to see the pictures coming up in a more wider view like how SDSS site works?

At times the Galaxy Zoo gives out an artifact or an object that is not particularly interesting but there is a beautiful galaxy right next to it or a part of a bigger galaxy just outside the image, would be nice to be able to see the wider picture also

The SDSS images aren't as sharp in terms of visuals, so I was just wondering...

Thanks

Welcome to the Zoo you and your strange name..
I let native english speakers answer to you

I think you mean navigate around the way you can in SDSS? Sorry - I don't think there is a way to do that with Hubble pictures

Could google sky be helpful for this? If so, how would I get the coordinates to enter into google sky?

[Alice]

Google Sky mostly uses SDSS images - most of the Hubble images are too far away to really show up on Google Sky.

However, if you have the ra and dec, you can always give it a go! Just go to Google Sky help and they'll show you the format for how to enter ra and dec in the correct format. If you want a hand, I can probably help you out this evening (I'm at work at the moment).

You can go into the AEGIS or GEMS website, but it is not easy.

(s)he wants to know if you could zoom in and out

While I know this topic is rather old. . .

I have used MS World Wide Telescope for some things. It merges most images with various databases, and if memory serves me right it will link out to other databases out there. A google search should get you there if your interested in it.

Sloan's Digital Sky Survey is in it. . . As well as Radio surveys, Infrared, Microwave, etc. Some of The Hubble Telescope images are in it to.

The only thing is you have to remember. . . Well the images I've been looking at are very small, so they may not always show up on the digital sky survey, or necessarily in the other surveys either.
