Observed ASCA Sequences

This plot shows the positions of all observed and processed ASCA sequences. The sequences are color-coded by the first digit of the sequence number, which indicates the proposal type for each sequence.

The plot is an Aitoff projection in Galactic coordinates, with the North Galactic Pole at the top, the Galactic Center in the middle, and galactic longitude increasing to the left.

You may notice several prominent objects as clusters of observations, such as The Large and Small Magelenic Clouds toward the lower right of the plot, and the Cygnus Loop to the left just below the Galactic plane. The Large Scale Survey (LSS) is visible as a cluster of white dots near the North Galactic Pole, and a line of orange dots in the lower left corner is a series of observations of the Moon.
