SDSS Cutout Web Service

This is a simple HTML form to present the parameters to the SDSS Cutout Web Service .

The web service definition is at http://SkyService.pha.jhu.edu/SdssCutout/SdssCutout.asmx?WSDL

Cutout (ra, dec, zoom, height, width, label, grid, photoObj, specObj)
          returns a (height x width) JPEG image centered on (ra,dec)
         where each image pixel corresponds to (2^zoom x 2^zoom) SDSS image pixels.   
There are approximately 151.4666 SDSS image pixels per arcmimnute.

The parameters are:

• ra:  center point right ascension in J2000 degrees.
• dec: center point declination in J2000 degrees
• zoom : the power of 2 that the image shrinks (a number in the range of 0...5):
  0: is 1 base pixel for 1 image pixel
  5: is 32x32 base pixel for 1 image
• height :  in pixels
  is range limited to [10...2000] and moved to fit into this range.
• width : in pixels
  is range limited to [10...2000] and moved to fit into this range (e.g. 20,000 is 2,000).
• grid: boolean requests a N-S E-W grid drawn through the centerpoint.
• label: boolean requests the name, scale, ra, and dec be written on image.
• photoObjs: boolean requests a small cricle around each primary photoObj in the image.
• specObjs: boolean requests a small square around each specObj in the image.
