PAnSTARRS galaxy imaging

[mdstuart]

Awesome new resource this PanSTARRS image database.

Tried a few galaxies and I love this one. NGC 3521.

It does not seem to centre the galaxies but shows a patch of sky, is there a better way to download it using RA and DEC yet?

Anyway it is really awesome. Much deeper than SDSS.

NGC 2419 that intergalactic wanderer has come out well. They might be up for an APOD entry
