Data Submission

There are two ways to send your data and logs at the end of each night.
  1. By anonymous ftp to: wet.physics.iastate.edu
    If you use the ftp option, load your data into the "wet/incoming/xcov16/" directory.

  2. Via e-mail to: wet@wet.physics.iastate.edu

    We will be reducing the data as fast as they come in, and we'll contact you promptly if we have any questions about, or problems with, the data you send.

    In case the IITAP mail/ftp servers go down, there is an emergency email address for use in contacting the control center: wet@iastate.edu.

World Wide Web

We have a WWW site set up for Xcov 16. It currently has all finder charts, observing instructions, contact information, assigned observing time, etc. During the run, we will keep it updated with the latest results and thoughts on the data.
