Description

Separate tar/zip files of raw images from each telescope used in the l2022 observing campaign of the AST SpaceMobile prototype Bluewalker 3 LEO communication satellite, led and organised by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference (CPS). The images along with their associated calibration frames were used in the publication (Nandakumar+ 2023) and are freely available to the community. The reduced data (e.g. apparent magnitude, TLE accuracy, and phase angles) are provided in (Nandakumar+ 2023) as supplementary machine readable data tables.
