Data Submission

There are two ways to send your data and logs at the end of each night.
  1. By FTP to: wet.physics.iastate.edu
    (Note that this has changed from the previous site of wet.physics.iastate.edu!)
    The username for the FTP site and the password is available through email. This information is only available through email because we have had problems with hackers filling the FTP system in the past. This is not an anonymous FTP transfer, so you will need the username and password to upload your data. If you use the FTP option, load your data into the "wet/incoming/xcov22/" directory.

  2. Via e-mail to: 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. If you are using a CCD system, please be sure to contact HQ for instructions about how we will handle your data.

In case the mail/ftp servers go down, there is an alternate email address for use in contacting the control center: wholeearthtelescope@yahoo.com

World Wide Web

We have a WWW site set up for Xcov 22. 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. It will also have a discussion page where all can contribute to a discussion about the run. We would welcome your comments on how to improve the usefulness of the WWW site.
