Dear fellow postage stampers,

   We have implemented a new postage stamp server for the NRAO/VLA Sky
Survey (URL http://www.cv.nrao.edu/NVSS/postage.html) and invite any
comments and/or suggestions.  The NVSS survey is being done at 20 cm
wavelength and will eventually cover the sky north of declination -40
degrees.
   As part of the documentation for this server I'm trying to collect
a list of other astronomical postage stamp servers.  I'm aware of
SkyView, the IPAC IRAF server, and the STScI DSS server.

Bill Cotton

Howdy.  We have a prototype for such, as part of the APS Catalog of 
the POSS I.  Here is the URL to get started:

	http://isis.spa.umn.edu/

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Adios,
Chris
