Classifications:
Ultra Wide Field - Nominal FoV of greater than 2.0°
Wide Field - Nominal FoV of between 1.0°-2.0°
Narrow Field - Nominal FoV of between 0.6°-1.0°
Ultra Narrow Field - Nominal FoV of less than 0.6°
Data Collection Period:
Data collection will begin on the first day of the starting month and ends on the last day of the ending month.
Collaborators may still upload their data at the end of the designated data collection period. However, the data may not be used for this year's final image.
Datasets will be stored and revisited in the following year.
