Preview of HST color HiPS
We just published at @cdsportal.bsky.social a color HiPS for Hubble Space Telescope images, combining 18 individual HiPS.
This data product gives an accurate preview of the HST archive content, spatially and spectrally.
Explore it interactively in Aladin Lite: alasky.cds.unistra.fr/HST-hips/col...
Have you ever wanted to explore Mars into incredible details ?

IMCCE SkyBot result
Our mystery object was Saturn (and its moons) !
Can you find the other location in the VPHAS DR4 survey where Saturn was also observed ? (with a different date and location, of course)
Let us know if you find this format of mini tutorials in threads useful !

IMCCE SkyBot query form
The intersection spans only a few minutes of time, on 2017-07-26, between 02:52:50 and 02:58:23.
We can use the IMCCE SkyBot tool (`Ctrl+L > IMCCE SkyBot` tab on the right), enter the median date and time and search for solar system objects around these coordinates at that time.

Intersection of the two STMOCs
Compute the intersection of the two STMOCs from the menu `Coverage > Logical operations...`, select the two STMOCs and CREATE the intersection in space and time.

Add time coverage to the MOC created from the phot tool
In the properties of this new MOC (Moc reg), add a Time range corresponding to that of the VPHAS DR4 : 2011-12-29T00:00:00 - 2018-08-12T23:59:59.
