Tutorial of how to use CSS data:

• (1) Use fpack to unpack compressed FITZ image: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/software/fitsio/c/docs/fpackguide.pdf
• (2) Use Astropy:

  • (b) https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/io/fits/usage/cloud.html#fits-io-cloud
  • (c) https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/generated/examples/io/plot_fits-image.html
• (3) Use PDS4 viewer: https://sbnwiki.astro.umd.edu/wiki/PDS4_Viewer

@jordanpadams , Vivian provided the information with the Open Data Registry submission. Do we want to make sure we also have that as part of the bundle label somewhere so that it is generically available to our users.

@tloubrieu-jpl this sounds like something that should go in the bundle readme.txt ? This is a file that can be referenced from the bundle.xml. Maybe we can ask if SBN wants to add that to the file?

@tloubrieu-jpl Which document contains the links provided by Vivian on Feb 6?

Hi @gxtchen , I don't know but if we put ourself in the shoes of a user, I would expect to find it in the S3 bucket or on a web page findable with a google search like "Catalina Sky Survey data on PDS NASA". The must as well be in the page describing the dataset on the ODR catalog https://registry.opendata.aws/, searching for "Catalina Sky Survey".

If one of these 3 resources is missing you can create a a ticket.
