on no occassion in the last 6 months did your project come up in any web search for any term related to exactly this... spectrum tiles or vector data for all modes and signals. It is possible our access to information has been censored by enemies, however it does not appear chromo nor the .uk test sites exist in web searches. 6 months ago another of our crews had intent to create a public webgl vectored interface but nowhere was this data to be found nor did your project show up.

Can we at least get primary/local sources correlated to a specific set, and the signal ranges mapped and isolated when distinct sources are known? Computed range in JS is viable.

@Cat4D Apologies for the slow response; I've been away on holiday for a while. I'm not entirely sure what you are saying/requesting. The search term(s) "vector data for all modes and signals" isn't at all appropriate for the site so I'm not surprised Chromoscope.net didn't come up whilst searching for those terms. "Spectrum tiles" doesn't come up because, although it involves tiles, we don't use that wording on the site (chromoscope.net) much. I'm not sure who your "enemies" are but the site does in fact show up in popular search engines if you put in terms such as "universe at different wavelengths". I think you've just been using different terminology than our site does. You found this GitHub repository so I presume you found some search terms that worked.

I'm afraid your final question isn't clear enough for me to understand what you are requesting. It may be that you want raw data, you may wish for catalogues of astronomical sources, you may be requesting to know the sources of the data, or something else. The sources of the data are at http://blog.chromoscope.net/data/ The tiles were generated from publicly available full-sky images that have been produced by the science teams for each mission/project. If you wish for the raw full-sky data you will have to get that from each of the projects themselves. This is often possible but be aware that the data sets can be very large (e.g. I think the DSS takes up several DVDs). If you are after catalogues of astronomical objects, you should probably use a service such as VizieR (http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR).
