ImgCutout is a Web application that enables professional astronomers and the general public to interactively visualize and explore large, complex astronomical data sets. The application consists of a Web interface that calls a Web service, which accesses SkyServer, a 1 TB SQL Server database containing catalog data for 100 million objects, spectra and images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. ImgCutout builds, in real time, color mosaic-images of user-selected regions of the sky, and overlays additional information about astronomical and spatial objects in the database including: boundaries of survey fields and aperture plates, outlines of individual objects and data quality masks, in addition to locations of photometric and spectroscopic objects. The tool can search for lists of known objects, allows new database queries, and provides detailed information about selected objects.
