VizieR Online Data Catalog: SkyMapper Southern Sky Survey. DR1.1 (Wolf+, 2018)

SkyMapper is a purpose-built, optical wide-field survey facility located at Siding Spring Observatory near Coonabarabran in New South Wales, Australia, at the edge of the Warrumbungle National Park, which is Australia's first declared Dark Sky Park. It has a 1.35m primary mirror and uses a mosaic of 32 CCDs, each having 2048x4096-pixels with a scale of ~0.5". The 268 million pixels cover a nearly-square field-of view measuring 2.4x2.3deg². After the commissioning phase ended in March 2014, observations for the Southern Survey started. The telescope is fully robotic and nightly survey operations are planned by autonomous scheduler software that can execute the entire survey without needing human intervention.
