[edit] Summary

The wide field of H-Alpha Sky Survey in galactic projection generated by WIKISKY.ORG team using SkyView astronomy survey tool.

[edit] Data source

Original data sources as described by SkyView: The full-sky H-alpha map (6' FWHM resolution) is a composite of the Virginia Tech Spectral line Survey (VTSS) in the north and the Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas (SHASSA) in the south. Stellar artifacts and bleed trails have been carefully removed from these maps. The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) survey provides a stable zero-point over 3/4 of the sky on a one degree scale. The full map and data can be obtained from the H-Alpha Full-Sky Map web site.
